Cheddars Carrot Cake: Price, Calories & Nutrition Guide
The Cheddars Carrot Cake is the slice for people who think carrot cake should taste like carrot cake: a generous slice layered with pecans and cream cheese icing, then finished with caramel sauce, toasted coconut and candied pecans on top. It is the nuttiest, most layered dessert on the Cheddar’s menu — and the menu is upfront about it, printing a note right on the item that the pecans in the cake cannot be removed.
The price is $7.49 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s, and Cheddar’s official nutrition guide lists the slice at 1,100 calories. This guide covers the Carrot Cake price, what comes with it, its calories and full nutrition, what to pair it with, and how to order it online.
What Comes With the Carrot Cake?
Order the Carrot Cake and you get one generous slice, built in layers. Pecans run through the cake itself and the layers are frosted with cream cheese icing; over the top go caramel sauce, toasted coconut and a finish of candied pecans. Two parts of the build can be toggled when you order — the Coconut Flakes and the Caramel Sauce can each be left off at no stated extra price — but the pecans are baked into the cake, and the menu states plainly that they cannot be removed.

How Much Does the Carrot Cake Cost?
The Carrot Cake price is $7.49 at the Arlington, Texas, Cheddar’s. That puts it in the middle of the five-dessert lineup — a dollar more than the Fried Apple Pie and the Classic Cheesecake at $6.79, and a dollar less than the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae at $8.49. For that price you get a full cake slice: layered, frosted and topped.

Carrot Cake Nutrition and Calories
The Carrot Cake is listed at 1,100 calories in Cheddar’s official nutrition guide — exactly the figure the Arlington menu displays, so the two official sources agree. It is a rich slice by any measure: 89 grams of sugars and 124 grams of carbs carry most of the count, with 63 grams of total fat from the icing, the pecans and the cake itself. Two figures stand out on the positive side of the ledger — 7 grams of dietary fiber, the most of any cake-style dessert on this menu, and 16 grams of protein, both helped by the pecans layered through the slice. The table below is the full official panel.

What to Pair With the Carrot Cake
The Classic Cheesecake is the other slice on the dessert menu, and ordering both is how a table turns dessert into a tasting. One plate brings the spiced, pecan-layered carrot cake under cream cheese icing; the other brings a creamy cheesecake on a shortbread cookie crust with strawberry purée — two very different slices at $7.49 and $6.79.
Grilled Salmon is the entrée move that makes room for a slice like this. A grilled seafood plate keeps the main course on the lighter side of the menu, so finishing with a 1,100-calorie slice of carrot cake feels like the plan rather than an accident — order the cake for the table and take your share at the end.
The Fried Apple Pie pairs with the carrot cake when the table wants one warm dessert and one chilled slice. The hand-filled apple pie arrives golden and crisp with caramel sauce and a side of vanilla bean ice cream at $6.79 and 1,080 calories, close enough to the carrot cake’s numbers that the choice comes down to warm-and-fried against layered-and-frosted.
Pecans in Three Places
Most desserts use a nut one way. The Carrot Cake uses pecans three ways, and each one does a different job. First, they are layered through the cake itself, so the crunch is inside every bite rather than sprinkled on as an afterthought — this is the layer the menu protects with its note that the pecans in the cake cannot be removed. Second, they come back on top as candied pecans, sweet and glossy over the caramel sauce, giving the slice its finished, bakery-case look. Third — the quiet role — they are the reason this slice eats like more than a sugar rush: the nuts slow the sweetness down, add the fiber and protein in the panel, and give the cream cheese icing something substantial to sit against.
That triple role is also the honest fine print of this dessert. A carrot cake built this way cannot be made nut-free at the table, and the two toggles at ordering — coconut flakes and caramel sauce — do not change that. Order it because the pecans are the point, or choose another dessert if they are a problem; the allergen section below sets out exactly what the official guide flags.
Nutrition and Allergen Considerations
At 1,100 calories, the Carrot Cake sits near the top of the dessert menu — only the Monster Cookie (1,550) and the Hot Fudge Cake Sundae (2,510) run higher — and its 89 grams of sugars are the figure most people want to see before ordering. The numbers worth a second look are the saturated fat (20 g) and the sodium (730 mg), both grown-up figures for a single slice, which is why this cake is so often split at the table. On allergens, the official guide flags the Carrot Cake for tree nuts, soy, eggs, dairy, wheat and gluten — the tree nuts are the pecans, and the menu itself warns that the pecans in the cake cannot be removed, so this dessert cannot be made nut-free. The dairy comes with the cream cheese icing. Cheddar’s warns that its kitchens use shared cooking and preparation areas, so cross-contact can occur. It cannot guarantee that any menu item is completely free of allergens.
