Carrot Cake
Grated carrot and walnut sponge under cream cheese frosting, prepared step by step.
Grating is the first job and it takes longer than you expect, which is exactly right — a carrot sponge is mostly vegetable, and a game that skipped that step would be teaching the wrong recipe. Walnuts get chopped next, then folded through the batter with the carrot.
From there it follows the standard sequence, but the ingredients keep it distinct. The batter is visibly flecked, the sponge rises differently from a plain one, and the cream cheese frosting on top has something to sit against rather than disappearing into a pale cake.
It is a quiet title with no timer, no score and no failure. The only pressure comes from the grating and chopping stages, where doing the job properly takes patience that the game does not force on you but the finished sponge visibly rewards.

Tips & Tricks
Grate more carrot than the prompt asks for. The sponge renders the flecks, and a lightly grated batter comes out looking like a plain cake with a few orange dots in it.
Frequently Asked Questions

They are part of the recipe, chopped and folded through the batter along with the grated carrot.
