Carrot cake recipe with step by step pictures and video. An easy and delicious carrot cake recipe that even beginners can try.
This is the first time I am tasting carrot cake with cream cheese frosting after hearing that its a deadly combo. I should say it is a match made in heaven. I always love carrot cakes and this is sure my keeper recipe. Not too sweet and is perfect to be paired up with cream cheese frosting. I made a batch of cream cheese frosting and used it for red velvet cupcakes and reserved the remaining for this carrot cake. Even without the frosting this cake tastes so good to go with a cup of tea or coffee for snack time, also best to pack for kids snack box too.
I love biting into different textures while eating the cake but for mittus cake I added walnuts just for topping. But I would suggest to add it in the batter also for a more crunchy cake.
Variations:
- I used vanilla essence and cinnamon flavoured but you can skip cinnamon if you want and use just vanilla essence.
- I used walnuts only for topping but you can add it inside the cake batter too.
- I used castor sugar which is a fine variety but you can use regular white granulated sugar too.
- This cake will work for 50:50 – wheat flour : maida. I am really not sure for whole wheat in this recipe.
- You can bake this cake in a bread loaf tin too.
