Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I’m a “goddess among mortals” for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I’m an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn’t seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Oh shit, you are a goddess among mortals! Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites so I keep trying it despite being disappointed every time that someone put raisins in it. It’s just mean.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don’t mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I’d choose…I dunno, german chocolate or something.

Embrace the joy, Goddess.
I’m 38, male, chubby, can’t grow a beard for shit.
Raisins are wank. You’re “a goddess among mortals”.
She is correct. You are absolutely divine for excluding raisins, you radiant goddess, you!

She’s right. Cooked raisins are an abomination. You’re a hero.

This is standard in US-style carrot cakes
Raisins in cinnamon rolls is the true crime

Walnuts on the frosting is fine with me but a lot of the ones from the shops used to put them in the cake - not so good.
Most carrot cakes I’ve had contained raisins. I don’t think it’s chiefly an American thing but it definitely seems common enough.
I hate it. Anything that dramatically breaks up the texture of a food like that is a culinary mistake.
