This gingerbread was created with all those “sudden” holiday situations in mind—when someone in the family remembers about the cake… the day before Christmas Eve. It’s quick, simple, and doesn’t require aging, while impressing with its moist texture and deep, spiced flavor. Interestingly, carrot gingerbreads have their roots in Scandinavian cuisine, where vegetables have long been used to naturally moisten baked goods—long before it became a culinary trend. Carrot keeps the cake fresh for a long time, and the flavor only improves with time. The perfect “last-minute” gingerbread that tastes like it was planned weeks in advance.
