Carrots have been used in sweet cakes since the Mediæval period, during which time sweeteners were scarce and expensive, while carrots, which contain more sugar than any other vegetable besides the sugar beet, were much easier to come by and were used to make sweet desserts. [1]

Popularity of carrot cake was likely revived in Britain because of rationing during the Second World War. [2]
