Carrot Cake Recipe – Eggless (With no eggs & butter)

December 11, 2012 by Sharmilee J 151 Comments

This carrot cake/carrot muffins is in my to do list since long and I set my apron to bake this cake to pack it when we were on a short trip to Kerala. You can use the same recipe to make carrot cupcakes / muffins too.

As Christmas is nearing I wanted to bake something but the power cuts here totally puts me off as it is mostly unscheduled power cuts here. And after I had few disasters few months back….I held back myself for baking. Now that justifies the absence of baking recipes in this space for quite sometime.

Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe
This cake turned out absolutely moist and delicious. The addition of carrots, olive oil and yogurt in this recipe makes it all the more healthy too. Ever since I baked the vanilla yogurt cake I have great confidence in yogurt as egg replacer. Do try this cake and am sure you will thank me enough 🙂

Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe


Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe – Ingredients

Recipe Reference: Renus Kitchen  Serves: 2
Cooking & Preparation Time: 1 hr




Maida – 3/4 cup (135 gms)
Wheat flour – 1/4 cup (35 gms)
Grated carrot – 1/2 cup heaped
Curd – 3/4 cups (200 ml)
Olive oil – 1/4 cup (60 ml)
Milk – 2.5 tbsp
Granulated Sugar -1/2 cup (110 gms)
Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp 
Cinnamon powder – 1/4 tsp (optional)
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt -1/4 tsp
Walnuts, chopped – handful

Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe

Method:
1.Grate carrots finely and keep aside. Sieve maida,wheat flour with salt,baking soda and baking powder, set aside. In a mixing bowl add curd, sugar, milk and olive oil. Mix well until sugar completely dissolves.
Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe
2.Then add cinnamon powder, vanilla essence and give a quick stir. Finally fold in carrots then add maida+wheat flour mixture.Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe
3.Whisk it well to form a smooth creamy flowing batter. You can fold in chopped walnuts into the batter itself. I forgot to add it and remembered only after I added the batter to the tin so just sprinkled on the top 🙂  Preheat oven at 182 deg C for 10mins. Meanwhile lay butter paper inside the tin(only for the bottom)…Grease it with butter and maida,  I had some remaining batter so poured into my individual muffin tin.Bake the cake at the same temperature for 20-25mins or until the toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.The muffins were done in 12 mins.
Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe
4.Immediately transfer the tin onto a wet cloth for easy unmoulding. Allow it to cool for 15mins, hen invert and carefully peel of the butter paper. Then allow it to cool for atleast an hour before slicing. Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe

Slice it into squares, cool completely and store in an airtight container.
Eggless Carrot Cake Recipe
My Notes:
  • The orginal recipe uses canola oil but I used olive oil as I had it in hand. Olive oil gives a great texture to the cake.I didnt find any difference here while adding olive oil, its the same as the normal cooking oil cake.
  • You can use the same recipe to make carrot cupcakes/muffins and bake them for 15-20mins.
  • Baking time again differs from oven to oven, depends on the tin too… mine took around 30 mins flat for the cake to bake fully but what I would suggest is check at 20mins then proceed accordingly.
  • The cake keeps well at room temperature for 2 days then refrigerate it. While serving may be you can just warm it up in oven and then serve it.
  • I was skeptical whether to saute the carrots for a while and then add it to the batter but I was short of time so added it raw. But the carrots did not leave the raw smell at all…so go ahead adding them raw itself.
  • I used homemade yogurt, you can use Nestle set dahi too.
  • Walnuts give a great crunch to the cake so dont skip it and I recommend adding them in the batter itself.
  • I wanted to add wheat flour so added 1/4 cup, but you can skip that and add 1 cup maida fully also.
  • The cake is normal sweet and it was just right for us. You can increase sugar to 3/4 cup if you want your cake to be more sweeter.As carrots doesnt give a unique flavor, vanilla essence is a must.

    Hi, i tried this cake its good though it was my 1st time but it turned good & i made it in the cooker as per receipe.Here is the procidure How i made maybe this useful 4 someone. First pre heat the cooker for at least 5 to 7 mins on med high flame while making batter.Then put a empty tin on the bottom of the cooker then put your cake tin on that close the lid do not forget to take off the whistle. cake is ready within 30 to 35 mins plz check after 25 mins do it on med high flame i used our normal steel tin which we used in cooker. Tip- if u r using aluminium cooker sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom of the cooker to avoid bottom from burning.

    Thanks so much for this recipe–it came out great–so moist and springy!

    One question: I am a displaced American living in Europe, so I had to substitute pastry flour for the Maida. The weight in grams (135) turned out to be for 1 cup of flour, not 3/4 cup… is maida that different weight-wise? The weight for the 1/4 of wheat flour was just right for me.

    And to return the favor for your great recipe, I thought you might like this one for American-style chocolate chip cookies made with yogurt. My son is allergic to eggs and we love it. I use thick greek yogurt (similar to your curd, I think).

    Yogurt Chocolate Chip Cookies

    1/2 cup packed brown sugar (the sticky American kind with molasses)
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup margarine or butter
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
    In a medium bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, margarine and shortening until light and fluffy. Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until incorporated, then mix in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges begin to brown. Cool for a minute on the cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

    hi Sharmilee i tried two eggless cake recipes of yours and they turned out amazing. but i have questions in mind
    1 sometims you ad just baking soda and sometimes both soda and powder , why so ?
    2 in some recipes its milk and some curd, what diff erence it makes in two ?
    but thanks for this blog it gave me confidence of "eggless" baking !!!!!!

      It depends on the recipe and the ingredients combo the recipe calls for….I am not really sure about milk curd combination….am also just a beginner in baking 🙂

    Hi Sharmilee. I have been wanting to make this cake from a very long time. I finally succeeded last weekend when I made it for our family picnic. After opening the cake box, everyone rushed to take a bite and before I knew it, all the pieces were gone! Thanks for a lovely recipe. I plan on trying the same recipe to make muffins. Will let you know how it turns out. The cake photo will be e-mailed to you shortly. Thanks!

    Hey Sharmilee.. i tried your eggless sponge cake.. but couldn't post my comments there.. hence i thought of posting here…Its my first baking in an OTG and i found the following issues:
    1) Some taste which was prominent..
    2)Cake split into multiple pieces after taking out…
    3) Looks like its not fully baked.. though i tried covering with butter paper & again kept for 5 mins.. fork came out clean…but felt bit chewy..
    4) I didn't get the texture at all…
    What i feel is, i used the curd which was there already ( not fresh one) and coconut oil.. could that be the reason?

    • SHARMILEE J says

      December 1, 2014 at 3:10 pm

      Coconut oil will sure change the flavour of the cake…but texture I am really not sure whether the problem is with the consistency of the batter or the baking process….

      Hi Sharmilee, tried your recipe and the cake taste was perfect and liked by all. Thank u!! Only on the look my bottom layer of the cake was brownish what you have on top and the top was little light in color. Do we need to put pan on top slot in oven, will it matter? Also feared further to 25mins cooking as it could have burned the bottom. Please advise.

      I usually use the middle rack, may be try that next time and see….It purely depends on the oven type….microwave witg convection mode cooks faster when compared to OTG

    Hi Sharmilee, i am visiting your blog often and tried many of your sabzi recipes. i am a beginner in baking, i love to bake cakes, but always it not comes good. i tried your carrot cake also, the taste is very good, but the cake is not baked in the center when i turned it. if i keep for more time, the top gets burnt. I unable to find where the problem occurs. i followed exactly the same measurements, the batter is also good. so i think there may not be problem in that.
    i used 10×8 rectangular pan, 180 deg for 30 min in the centre rack of the oven.
    kindly help me where the problem occurs.

      You can use a aluminium foil to cover the top the cake and then bake it for extra time so that the inside gets cooked and the top doesn't get over browned.

    Hi Sharmilee, I tried your carrot cake today. I don't have an oven so I put the batter into cup cake molds and microwaved each one separately for 45+45 seconds in microwave mode and it turned out amazingly. All your recipes are awesome, this one including 🙂

    Hi sharmilee…. tried this receipe.. the taste was really good. I was totally upset abt the way the cake came out… used all the ingredients in the same proportions as given by u… at firs the fork did not comeout clean so I put an extra 5 mins i. The middle rake of the oven @360℉. The final cake was NOT fluffy .. rather it was thick though not hat hard. Donno where it went wrong. I used the homemade low fat yogurt, a little watery though.. i didnt add water.. its the whey water… Did u use thick curd?? I appreciate ur effort of reading the comments n helping out or suggesting as needed. I await ur analysis too. Thanks in advance…

    This looks like a great recipe. Will definitely try it! Was just reading through some other comments and noticed an American who seemed to not be sure what maida is. It would probably be helpful to just say it's all-purpose flour in parentheses right in the ingredient list.

    I tried this recipe but the cake did not rise… Did exactly what you have posted in your recipe. Have no idea as to why I did not rise and even after 25 mins of baking the cake came out to be raw from inside. The taste is amazing but it’s raw and did not rise at all. Can you please tell me the reason for it?
