Eggless Carrot Cake – soft spongy flavorful delectable Eggless Carrot Cake. This cake is loved by kids as well as adults. my kids like taking this with their lunch box as a mid-morning snack. This is my most preferred treat with my morning and evening tea.
This recipe is very similar to the zucchini cake recipe which I got from my sister Anu. I just replace zucchini with carrots and made some slight changes. I have not been able to take step by step pics but if you want you can check the Eggless Zucchini cake recipe. The process is exactly the same.
The cake is soft crumbly and very flavourful because of Cinnamon. It’s an absolute treat to senses. My younger son who likes carrot only in Salad loves this cake totally.
