Ingredients

  • ¾ cup maida
  • ¼ cup wheat flour
  • ½ cup carrot grated & heaped
  • ¾ cups curd
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2.5 tablespoon milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • a handful walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Then add cinnamon powder, vanilla essence and give a quick stir. Finally fold in carrots then add maida+wheat flour mixture.
  • 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 180 deg C for 10 minutes. 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 20-25 minutes or until the toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. The muffins were done in 12 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer the tin onto a wet cloth for easy unmolding. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes, then invert and carefully peel of the butter paper. Then allow it to cool for at least an hour before slicing.
  • Slice it into squares, cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • The original recipe uses canola oil but I used olive oil. Olive oil gives a great texture to the cake.
  • You can use the same recipe to make carrot muffins and bake them for 15-20 minutes.
  • 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 wanted to add wheat flour so added ¼ 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 ¾ cup if you want your cake to be more sweeter.
