Ingredients for Carrot Cake:
- 1 Clove
- One small piece of Nutmeg
- One inch-sized Cinnamon
- 1.5 cups Maida
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Refined Oil
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 cup Jaggery Powder
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 cup Shredded Coconut
- 1 cup Shredded Carrot
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 1 tsp Butter or Oil
Step 1 – Pre-preparation:
Take a mixie jar. Add one clove, one small piece of nutmeg, one inch-sized cinnamon, and grind it to get a fine powder. Keep this stuff aside.
Step 2 – Making Carrot Cake Batter:
Get a bowl and add 1.5 cups of maida/plain flour. Add 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of baking soda, 1/4 tsp of salt, and mix the prepared fine powder made earlier. Keep this flour aside.
Take another bowl and pour 1/2 cup of refined oil. Add 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of jaggery powder, two eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and whisk well till the mixture gets smooth and fluffy.
It’s time to add crucial ingredients. Add 1/4 cup of shredded coconut, 1 cup of shredded carrot, 1/4 cup of raisins and mix it. Optionally, you can add 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple and 1/4 cup of finely chopped walnuts. Add the prepared flour mixture half at a time and mix well. Even you can add all at a time and mix it if your bowl size is big enough to accommodate it.
Grease a cake pan with either oil or butter. Dust some flour over it. Swirl the pan to get coated with flour on all sides. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and tap it to avoid air bubbles. The carrot cake batter is ready for the baking process.
Step 3 – Baking Carrot Cake:
Place a small stand in a heavy bottom pan, turn the flame on with medium heat, and let it heat for 5 minutes with a covered lid. Once heated up, place the cake pan over the stand. Cover the top with the lid and cook it for 50 minutes with reduced low heat. Please turn off the flame and let it cool down. Now, the Carrot Cake is ready for serving!
