This is the perfect and easiest recipe for a fluffy, super
moist and delicious carrot cake. It is the best companion to a cup of steaming
coffee or can be had on its own as well. I have always been a fan of carrot
cakes but found it difficult to dish out a recipe. After going through several
recipes, I found this one to be the easiest and lip smacking one. Couldn’t have
asked for a better cake and to top it, the house fills up with a wonderful aroma!!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Maida/All purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Vanilla essence
¾ cup Vegetable oil
1 cup grated Carrot
1 pinch Salt
½ cup Mixed Nuts (raisins, walnuts/almonds)
Mixed Spices (1 piece Cinnamon, 2-3 Cloves, 1 pinch Nutmeg)
METHOD
1.
Sieve together maida/all purpose flour, baking
powder, baking soda and salt. Keep aside.
2.
Combine the sugar and mixed spices in a grinder
to make a fine powder.
3.
In a big bowl, take the eggs and beat till
frothy.
4.
Add the sugar mixture into the eggs and beat till
the texture is fine and creamy.
5.
Now add the dry mixture little by little and
keep mixing.
6.
Add vanilla essence and oil to the mixture. Keep
mixing.
7.
Finally add the carrots and nuts and gently
fold.
8.
Preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 180 degrees.
9.
Grease a baking tin with oil. Now sprinkle maida
and tap evenly. This will help in unmoulding the cake easily or you can also
use a silicon mould.
