I would like to add that chocolate gelatin icing that is extremely popular now is beyond gross.
And if you eat naked cakes than you are beyond weird.
Only cakes that should be "naked" is pound cake, lemon cake, Banana bread (technically cake), and Bunt cake. But a true Bunt cake should have a Glaze over it.
Carrot cake is only good as long as there is no slivers of carrot in it. Everyone thinks putting raw carrot in the batter is a good idea but no it's not. That is like making mashed potatoes and throwing in raw potato.
Carrot cake should be smooth and rich with natural sweetness from the carrots.
I make a carrot cake where I make the carrots almost like a puree and add it to the mix.
