ABOUT The Best Eggless Carrot Cake RECIPE

To me, this cake is one of the best cakes I have baked so far. For an eggless version, this cake is incredibly moist and light. I have made this cake quite a few times now and each time, I have got rave reviews. This dessert gets its sweetness from the carrots and condensed milk and lightly spiced with the flavor of cinnamon. I feel that the use of cinnamon lifts the flavour quotient of the cake to a large extent. Cakes have always been a weakness for all girls and women. And if some nutrition is added to it then it’s definitely a cherry on the top. Every dessert has a very fine place in the hearts of people, but cake takes a big lot of it. An Eggless Carrot Cake is one fine dessert for all the vegetarian diet conscious people. Carrot Cake can be a perfect option for a tea party menu. For the Eggless Carrot Cake, the dry ingredients are mixed up with the carrot and nuts to give it a rocky road kind of a texture. The wet ingredients are then folded into the mixture, forming a smooth yet rocky batter. The batter is then baked to perfection. The whipped cream frosting gives the cakes a very luscious taste, as well as enhancing the appearance of the cake. This perfectly made cake is just the appropriate option with tea or coffee.
