Eggless Healthy Carrot cake with Gulkhand

Hi SUPERMOMS,

I love eggless bakes as I feel very comfortable with them. The Red carrots are out of the market and I found fresh orange carrots and was tempted to bake a cake.

Cinnamon and Gulkhand(Rose petal preserve) adds so much of flavour to this delicious dessert!

 Wanted to make it healthy without compromising on the taste! Everybody at home loved this fluted cake .

So if you are looking for an eggless carrot cake recipe, then it can't get simpler than this!!

Grated carrots-3

Brown sugar- 1/2 cup( you can increase the sugar quantity upto 3/4 cup)

Flax powder-1 tbsp

Gulkhand- 1/4 cup ( plus 1/4 cup for garnish)

Milk-1/4 cup+1 tbsp( adjust to make a thick but flowing batter)

When baking a cake, it is best to use measuring cups  and spoons .Here are the ones I used.

1. Soak a tbsp of flax powder in 3 tbsp of hot water. Let it rest for 10 minutes. 

2. Grate the carrot and mix the cinnamon powder and toss well.

3. Sift the flour,baking powder,baking soda .Mix with sugar and whisk .

5. Whisk your flax powder mixture. It will be gooey.

6. Add the flax mixture , gulkhand and carrots. Add milk and adjust the quantity to get a loose but thick flowing consistency. Grease the cake/ muffin moulds . Preheat your oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes,

7. Bake at 160 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or till the time a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

8. Allow it to cool in the cooling rack. The cake is ready to be devoured! Garnish by topping the cake with Gulkhand and drizzle caramel syrup and serve. You can dust icing sugar too! Yummy, waiting to bake this again!
