Carrot Cake (Eggless Version)


It's a healthy cake without butter and icing.

Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
Wheat flour - 1/3 cup
Baking powder - 3/4 tsp.
Baking soda - 3/4 tsp.
Carrot - 180 gm
Light brown sugar - 2/3 cup
Salt - 1/4 tsp.
Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp.
Walnuts - 1/2 cup (chopped)
Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp.
Oil - 1/3 cup (low fat oil)
Golden raisins - 1/4 cup
Flax Seed powder - 1/2 tbsp.
Warm water - 1 tbsp.
Plain yogurt - 1/4 cup
Orange juice - 2 tbsp.



Method:
Mix the flax seed powder and the warm water. Whisk well for 30 seconds. After 10 minutes, the flax seed mixture will become thick and viscous.
Sift the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the brown sugar, grated carrots, raisins and walnuts and mix well. In another bowl lightly whisk together the oil, flax seed mixture, vanilla extract, yogurt and orange juice. Make a well in the middle of dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients. Gently, stir till combined.
Pour batter into a lined and greased 8 inch cake pan (I adjusted with my old cake pan). Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C  for about 25 to 30 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Enjoy this healthy cake.
