EGGLESS CARROT CAKE

I am celebrating 3rd anniversary of my blog and am very happy about it. I don't post many recipes in a month because of the time factor. 

I made this cake and it was very moist . You can use all purpose flour if you don't prefer to use wheat flour. I didn't have cream cheese at home so just used vanilla frosting after cake is completely cool and sprinkled some goodies on it . 

Ingredients

3/4 Cup All purpose flour

3/4 Cup Whole Wheat flour

1 cup Light brown sugar

1 tsp Baking soda

1/2 tsp Baking powder

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder

1/4 tsp Salt

1-1/2 cups grated carrot

3/4 Cup Water

1/2 cup Vegetable oil

2 tsp Vanilla extract

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat oven to 170C. Line the baking tray with baking paper . I used a small loaf pan and a round pan to bake.
Whisk together all the dry ingredients all purpose flour,sugar,baking soda,baking powder,cinnamon powder and salt.
Now add the grated carrot and mix well.Keep aside.
In another mixing bowl combine water,oil,vanilla essence and vinegar. Slowly add this to the dry ingredients and mix until combined(Do not over mix)
Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes and completely on a wire rack. If not frosting, Slice and serve slightly warm.If frosting, refrigerate the cake until frosting.

Cream cheese frosting

Ingredients
1 Cup cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 Cup/1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces @ room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method
Place cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Using a rubber spatula, soften cream cheese. Gradually add butter, and continue beating until smooth and well blended. Sift in confectioners' sugar, and continue beating until smooth. Add vanilla, and stir to combine. Refrigerate until use.

Frosting the cake

Put a blob of frosting on the plate/cake base on which you are going to place the cake, this ensures the cake remains in its place while frosting.

Put the frosting on the cake and spread it evenly.

Let the cake sit in the fridge for an hour or two ,take it out and give nice finish by applying another layer of frosting.

If you don't want to do any of these, just apply a good layer of frosting on top of the cake and enjoy it.
