Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use butter instead of margarine in the carrot pudding recipe?

Yes, you can substitute butter for margarine in this recipe. Just make sure the butter is melted and cooled before mixing it into the batter.

Leftover carrot pudding should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 3 to 4 days. You can also freeze the pudding for longer storage, up to 2 months.
