Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting: 8.5/10
🚨NEW ITEM🚨 If you guys know me, you know I LOVE carrot cake. When #Traderjoes comes out with a new carrot cake, I have to give it a try. I believe this one was an old discontinued item that has made a comeback! This was overall a great carrot cake – the cake had a nice flavor that wasn’t overly spice filled like some carrot cakes can be and it was pretty dense and moist which I enjoyed. There were also no walnuts mixed in, but walnut meal which I prefer over having actual whole nuts in the cake! It had a nice frosting to cake ratio which I feel like some of the Trader Joe’s baked items struggle with. I do wish the icing was sweeter and had less of a gummy, sticky texture. If you’ve had the carrot cake bundt cakes, that frosting would’ve been perfect on this cake! While good, I don’t think it quite had that wow factor to get into the 9’s. Also, I found the packaging to be difficult and I couldn’t get the lid back on after opening it up. So, I guess I just had to finish it in one sitting 😉It’s $4.99 for this cake.
Have you tried this yet? What do you think?
Woah the icing is pretty sweet already. If it was any sweeter i would pass on it. The icing to cake ratio is a bit much though with the icing. This carrot cake is amazing though
Does it have raisins? Cause that’s a deal breaker
I have a tree nut allergy. None for me. 😕
I NEED THIS PRONTO
@nadihassan 😢
🤤 ok I want it
man, in my opinion this is for sure a 10/10. I ate the whole thing in one sitting, I was also high but still. Love it😍

This looks soo good! Need to go buy asap! I love watching your Tik Toks so I def had to follow your Ig page as well 😍
NO CHUNKS OF WALNUTS AS GOD INTENDED @sarah.mironov
Carrot cake is my all time favorite. Not sure if I got a bad batch, but this cake was way to “earthy” for me and tasted like the carrots were picked and shredded without being washed. 🤢
This cake is SOOO good
Just had some yesterday and it was amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥 @traderjoesfoodreviews
Did anyone else feel like this had a slight shrimpy taste to it? 🙁 😢
Loved it!! Ate it in 2 days
LOVE IT
Just tried it and I loved it!! It was sooo good. 10/10
It’s a little dry though.
Is the cream cheese over powering in the icing? I am not a fan of cream cheese but love carrot cake so I deal with the icing if the taste of cream cheese is subtle enough
I didn’t find it dry, I found it doughy or gummy, even the frosting. Frosting not overly sweet, but just sweet enough so I would like it. I have a sweet tooth and prefer sweet cream cheese frosting. I hate cream cheese frosting that tastes more like cream cheese. Had enough spice, not too bland. No chewy bits like nuts or pineapple. Ok, not my fav. Not sure I would get again.
Just cause it’s from Trader Joe’s, doesn’t mean it’s healthy you losers
