Carrot cake is a moist and soft delicacy prepared with freshly grated carrot, butter and flour.
I always wanted to bake a cake that is eggless and butterless so that everyone can enjoy the cake without any guilt. Then I came across this carrot cake recipe. It is absolutely healthy and delicious.
I love baking cake but I will not eat it. This carrot cake is just the opposite I cannot stop having it. It's so moist and fluffy. The addition of yogurt makes the cake moister. Now let’s get baking !!
How to make eggless carrot cake
1) Grease a baking pan with butter and dust the pan with Maida, Tap off the excess flour s. Place a parchment paper on the greased mould and set aside. Mean while grate carrot and set aside.
Step 2) Mix curd, olive oil, milk and sugar and set aside. In another bowl sieve Maida, baking powder ,baking soda and salt together and set aside. Now along with the wet ingredients add in vanilla essence and finally fold in the carrot gently.
Tips & Variations
- Baking time again differs from oven to oven, depending on the baking tray too.
- It took around 30 mins for the cake to bake fully. I would suggest is check at 20mins then proceeding accordingly.
- Don't skip to sieve the Maida, Baking powder, Baking soda, and Salt. As sieving combines all the dry ingredients really well.
- I added 1 cup Maida fully, but you can add ¼ cup of wheat flour as well also if you prefer. You can increase or decrease sugar as per your taste as the Carrot itself is sweet.
Serving Suggestions
Makes a great after-school snack or even as a dessert. It is perfect for parties or any functions.
