Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas!! I guess most of you might be busy baking, cooking, visiting friends or family and shopping for the festive time rt. We don't celebrate Christmas as such. As a kid, I used to cherish the 10 days X'mas school vacation the most :). We used to buy and enjoy a plum cake from the famous bakery then , thats pretty much all Christmas was about for me !!
Today's recipe is yet another eggless bake, a very healthy one too. I love the carrots in baked goods and the cake came out so soft n moist. This cake is very flavourful too and the house will be filled with the lovely cinnamon flavour of the cake while it gets baked. Hope you all will try this out.
What you need?
1 cup Wheat flour
1 cup grated Carrot
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1.5 tsp Cinnamon powder
A pinch Salt
1/2 cup Yoghurt
1/2 cup Oil
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla essence
2 tbsp sweetened Cranberries
How to prepare?
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a cake pan and keep aside.
Sieve together flour, baking powder, soda , cinnamon and salt. Add grated carrots and cranberries to this. Mix well.
Whisk yoghurt, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients. If you feel the batter is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of milk..
Pour this in the pan. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted at the centre comes out clean.

Cool completely and cut into slices.
Notes:
* You can add any nuts or raisins.
* The sweetness was perfect for us. If you like it very sweet, add more sugar.
* If you don't like cinnamon flavour, reduce it.
* You can use all purpose flour instead of wheat flour. Texture of the cake is slightly different when wheat flour is used, but there is no much difference in taste :)

I love the carrots dat carrot cake...super pics dear........
This is great... I wish I'd seen this before I baked the carrot cake with wheat flour and oats for my parents as I prefer eggless. Anyways will try this next time.
Wow... Wonderful...I tried this cake and it just came perfect... spongy and tasty...Everybody luvd it... I hav some doubts...
1. y do v use yoghurt in cakes?can v omit yoghurt...
2. Instead of oil can we use ghee or butter ..whats the proportion
Hi Lakshmi..Sorry for the late response. Very happy that u liked the cake :) Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it :)
Regarding your doubts...
1. I have used yogurt here to replace the eggs. It also makes the cake soft and spongy. You can omit yogurt and add eggs or any other egg substitutes.
2. You can surely use butter. I never use butter while baking cake, so I can't tell you the right proportion. Sorry about that.
DO try other recipes and let me know if you like them :)
