Notes

  • I love slightly chunky carrot shreds so used the large holed grater. You can use the fine variety too.
  • You can make this cake as a snack cake without frosting too.
  • If you are using granulated sugar reduce a little bit may be a 1 tablespoon.
  • Cinnamon powder is optional, you can skip it too.
