Is Carrot cake made with seed oils?

Usually seed oils

Usually, yes

Carrot cake is traditionally an oil-batter cake, almost always made with vegetable or canola oil rather than butter, plus a cream cheese frosting on top. The tracker estimates around 7g PUFA for a slice.

How to keep it seed-oil-free

Bake it at home swapping in melted butter or olive oil for the vegetable oil.
