What Is in Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake?

- Signature Tangy Cream Cheese Icing Whipped cultured cream cheese, sweet cream butter, and confectioners' sugar troweled thickly between every layer and across the outer wall
- Toasted Walnuts & Southern Pecans Roasted chopped tree nuts folded into the spiced cake crumb and pressed along the frosted exterior spine
- Warm Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Allspice Blend Aromatic bakery spice profile balanced by dark molasses brown sugar and pure vanilla extract
- 890mg Sodium Leavening & Cream Cheese Balance Baking soda, sea salt, and cultured cream cheese frosting produce the highest sodium count (890mg) on the dessert menu

Carrot Cake Allergens
Carrot Cake contains tree nuts (walnuts & pecans), milk, egg, wheat, soy, gluten and is prepared in a shared bakery and restaurant environment.
Because toasted walnuts and pecans are folded into the raw carrot cake batter at the central bakery prior to baking, Carrot Cake cannot be prepared without tree nut food allergens. Cross-contact with wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts cannot be prevented in shared bakery and restaurant slicing stations.

Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake FAQs
01 Why does Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake have 1,720 calories per slice? ▼
Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake is the #1 highest-calorie dessert slice on the entire Cheesecakes Menu at 1,720 calories and 122g of total fat because the towering cake layers are baked with liquid vegetable oil, roasted walnuts, and pecans for maximum moisture, and then heavily filled and frosted with butter-and-cream-cheese icing.
02 Why is the saturated fat (38g) on Carrot Cake lower than its total fat (122g)? ▼
Although Carrot Cake contains 122g of total fat per slice, only 38g is saturated fat (compared to 52g–53g saturated fat in Key Lime and Lemon Meringue Cheesecakes). The remaining 84g of fat consists of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats from the liquid vegetable baking oil and toasted walnuts/pecans.
03 How much does Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake cost for a single slice vs. a 10-inch whole cake? ▼
A single slice of Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake costs $11.95, while a 10-inch whole Carrot Cake costs $76.50 and yields 12 to 15 generous servings ($5.10 to $6.38 per slice). A 7-inch whole cake size is not available for Carrot Cake.
04 Does Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake contain nuts, pineapple, or raisins? ▼
Yes, Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake contains toasted tree nuts (walnuts and pecans) along with freshly grated carrots and crushed pineapple baked directly into the spiced cake batter, and nuts cannot be removed.

05 Is Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake a cheesecake or a specialty layer cake? ▼
Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake is a multi-tiered specialty layer cake rather than a water-bath baked cheesecake, but it is heavily filled and iced between every tier with the bakery's signature tangy whipped cream cheese frosting.
06 How many people can share one slice of Cheesecake Factory Carrot Cake? ▼
Because a single slice of Carrot Cake weighs approximately 385g (nearly 14 ounces) and packs 1,720 calories, two diners sharing a half-slice receive 860 calories each, while four diners splitting a quarter-slice receive 430 calories each.
