Carrot cake

One of the cakes which I make at home more often and the one my kid likes.

Ingredients

• Maida (all purpose flour) - 1 cup
• Baking powder - 1tsp
• Vegetable oil (I used sunflower) - 3/4 cup
• Egg - 2
• Sugar 3/4 - 1 cup (as per your taste bud) - powdered
• Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp
• Carrot grated - 1 and 1/2 cup
• Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

Method

•  Sieve maida and baking powder and keep aside
•  Mix together oil, egg and let them blend well
•  To this add sugar and mix well until you get a smooth batter
•  Add cinnamon powder, vanilla essence to blend again.
• You don't need a cake mixer. Just a wooden spoon will do the work for the carrot cake.
•  Now slowly mix in the maida-baking pwdr mix and may be you'll feel the batter is thick.
• Add the grated carrots and combine. The batter becomes loose again and ready to go in the oven.

I baked this in a muffin case and got 12.  (Preheat and bake at 150 degree C for 20-25 mins).You can use either muffin case or a round dish ... Adjust your oven accordingly. Happy baking!!
