Your Carrot Cake is Safe to eat.
There are pH sensitive pigments in carrots that react with alkaline things, like baking soda. Carrots will turn green when there is either too much baking soda in your batter or if the soda has not been evenly mixed into the batter.
Fix: Thoroughly mix in baking soda, or adjust baking soda levels in recipe.
However, if your carrot cake is green because it has been sitting on top of your microwave for a week, and/or it is fuzzy and green – do NOT eat!
