Ingredients

Whole Wheat flour - 1 Cup
Brown Sugar- 1 cup
Oil - 3/4 cup( I have use Sunflower Oil)
Grated Carrot - 1 cup
Flax Seed Powder -3 tablespoon
Vanilla essence-1/2 tsp
Baking soda-1/2 tsp
Baking powder-1 tsp
Walnuts- 1/4 cup
Cinnamon Powder- 2 tsp
pinch of Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F or 180 degree Celsius for 10 minutes
In a small bowl take 2 tablespoon Flax seed powder and mix it with 6 tablespoon of warm water and set aside for 10 minutes.
In a mixing bowl , add the whole Wheat flour, Baking soda. Baking powder Cinnamon powder and Salt and mix well.
In another bowl, add Oil, Brown Sugar and Vanilla. Mix until the Sugar dissolves. Now add the Flax seed mixture and mix lightly.
Fold in the flour gently with the wet ingredients to get a smooth batter
Add the grated Carrots and walnuts and mix well.
Grease the cake pan and dust with flour or line with Parchment paper. Pour the batter to the cake pan and smooth the top by tapping the pan . Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 F / 180 C. I have baked the cake using Convectional Microwave.
Remove from Oven and insert a skewer to check whether the cake is baked evenly. If the skewer or knife comes out clean, it means the cake is baked properly. If the skewer comes out sticky, bake the cake for 5 more minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert the cake, cut into pieces and serve .
Enjoy the moist and delicious Carrot cake with tea !

  Hi Nikita
  1 tablespoon flax seed powder dissolved in 2 tablespoon of warm water substitutes 1 egg. So here for 3 eggs we will be using 3 tablespoon flax seed powder in 6 tablespoon of warm water.
