Carotte cake or carrot cake?
Carotte cake, carrot cake: the same cake
Carrot cake in English, gâteau à la carotte or carotte cake in everyday Parisian French: all these names describe the same great classic of grated carrot, gentle spices and creamy frosting. On our menu it has a name of its own, the Carotte Cake DE OUF, and it is the house classic.

The chef behind the recipe
the house classic
Thirty years in starred kitchens, one slice of cake turned cult favourite.
“A good carrot cake means time, good produce and nothing superfluous. The rest is generosity.”Julie Berchoux, chef
Before opening her table in Montmartre, Julie spent thirty years alongside Robuchon, Ducasse, Taillevent and Fauchon. She now puts that rigour at the service of unpretentious baking — and a carrot cake praised even by the English-speaking press.
