Carrot and Date cake..a soft moist and delicious cake that taste simply yumm..Made this amazing cake few days back and it was well received by all.Since there is nip in the air I added spice powders which took this cake to a whole new level..made it flavourful and delicious and gave that festive feel.
You can make this with wholewheat flour as well I took 1:1 ratio of whole wheat and refined flour..this cake can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine..Its simply amazing..Do give this a try ..I'm sure you gonna love it.
Ingredients
200 gm seedles dates
50 gm.walnut
1 1/ 2 cup carrot grated (i used around 3)
2 eggs
100 gm butter
2 tsp oil
1 tsp baking powder
1/ 2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup flour *(i used 3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup whole wheat flour)
2 tsp honey
1 tsp cinnamon powder
1/ 4 tsp all spice powder/garam Masala powder.
Notes
You can replace eggs with 1/2 cup buttermilk (thats 1/2cup milk mixed with 1 tsp vinegar or lime juice)
This can be made with wholewheat flour too.
You can add raisins or any nuts you prefer
