Because in food I trust. In all forms and shapes. 

Juicy carrot cake

Juicy carrot cake

Although one would expect that the French eat only French things, that is clearly wrong when entering many boulangeries and cafes nationwide. In boulangeries, next to the croissants, baguettes, brioches and tartes, there will be a wide selection of worldly bakes such as cookies, focaccia, and cinnamon buns. However, in cafes, especially the ones focused on specialty coffee, you will see that almost none of the things available come from French cuisine. Most probably you will see a bit of British culture (scones), something from Italy (paninis), bagels, puff pancakes and cinnamon buns (USA) and carrot cake. The French love a good carrot cake and no one can blame them as it is pure joy to dig in to a cake so moist and creamy. This is one of my favourite carrot cakes (after my honey cake). Sweet, juicy, full of spices, and creamy. It’s one of those cakes that I could eat and enjoy endlessly.
