3. Carrot Cake

During the 70s people became more interested in having a healthy lifestyle and carrot cake was frequently made for parties or for a special family dinner. It was considered a healthier choice of dessert because it contains the word carrot in its name.

However, that’s not really the case, taking into consideration all the cream cheese used for the icing and the amount of sugar you need for this cake. Anyway, it was really popular back then and it still is. Nowadays, there are many original carrot cake alternatives on the Internet that make it a little bit healthier.
