"Once you've downed your stone crab claws and finished off your Mediterranean branzino, order a slice of carrot cake with a glass of the perfect wine to complete your Truluck's experience. The restaurant recommends Blandy's, Malmsey, 10-year Madeira. "The addition of Madeira somehow takes this cake above and beyond world class. It's a match made in heaven. The wine's bright acidity offers an amazing counterpoint to the richness of our signature dessert, and its caramel, fig, and nutty notes round out the experience,""
"In addition to treats like crème brûlée, baked Alaska, chocolate malt cake, and key lime pie, depending upon your location, the upscale chain also offers a world-class carrot cake. For more than 30 years, diners have been treated to this delicious slice of heaven, which arrives at the table with four layers of spongy cake divided by silky cream cheese icing, topped with spicy pecans and warm butterscotch sauce. A full serving of the carrot cake goes for $16, and a petit serving costs $11."
