OT: carrot cake from Aramark: OT

RRP

anybody else here who knows how GREAT their carrot cake is? I mean that is KICK BUTT! I buy it by the slice at a lady's auxiliary at a local hospital.

I love a good carrot cake also. I typically go to allrecipes. I did a search and found this one. Looks like all the ingredients I would expect. 5000 reviews with a 4.5 out of 5. Should be great.

Just waking up but I assume you are looking for a way to duplicate? If not, sorry for reading into your post.

Ron, Aramark is a contracted food service provider at the hospital. Do they have a bakery department or do you think they are purchasing from a comercial source? Might be a good question to ask.

I know it quite a drive but if you ever get a chance, Gibson's Steakhouse has this tiny piece and it's fantastic:

One of the auxillary ladies I know who volunteers there said no baking department - the cakes from Aramark come in refrigerated. They cut them into 8's and sell for $2 each.

Thanks for that link! I have a carrot cake recipe adapted to baking on a BGE that I have baked several times over the years. BUT that recipe you linked makes my mouth water so I know it's on my to-do list very soon!

I found homemade vanilla is a game changer on so many recipes. VI put me onto making my own. I have 4 different regions of vanilla beans and each with unique suttles. It could be something Aramark is doing that makes their carrot cake stand out??

Carrot cake is, hands down, my all-time favorite. Not only is the cake itself delicious, the cream cheese icing makes it even better. I prefer mine with chopped walnuts too.

This can be traced to see the origin. Likely frozen.

I love carrot cake. I never order it since too many of them are more spice cake than carrot cake. The recipe posted looks like it might be worth a try.

A good carrot cake can be amazing, especially when it’s made with care check out frankie bones customer service. It sounds like the lady's auxiliary at your local hospital really knows how to make a "kick butt" carrot cake.
