Carrot Cake

This recipe holds a lot of nostalgia, passed down from my mom, who insisted on feeding my kids healthy. It’s a simple one-pot recipe, no fancy equipment needed.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Oil (not to be replaced with butter or ghee)
• 2 Cup Whole wheat flour
• 3 Cup Red Grated Carrot  ( preferred Red winter)
• 2 Cup Sugar
• 4 Eggs Or replace with 1 cup to 1 cup and ¼ cup milk
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1 tsp Garam masala
• Walnuts and almonds for garnishing

Method

• Put all the ingredients and mix with hand.
• Pl note donot use any beater or spoon as it will break due to thickness in the batter
• If using eggs beat them slightly with fork and add to mixture
• Bake in pre heated oven for 40- 45 min at 200 degree Celsius. Time may vary esp. for eggless one as it take time. Tooth pick should come out clean
• Pl note the recipe is for 1kg cake
• Points to remember
• I donot recommend using this with orange carrot but if doing pl use All purpose and Whole wheat – 1 cup each and sugar cannot be reduced
• Batter has be to falling in lumps and not a flowy one You need to be extra careful on eggless batter that u donot overmix or add extra milk otherwise cake will get brunt feeling. Pl add slowly the quantity of milk. It can vary due to the quality of whole wheat also.
