Easy Carrot Cake
Ingredients
Grated Carrot 1 cup
Plain flour 1.5 cups
Brown Sugar 3/4 cup
Ground Nutmeg 2 spoonfuls
Ground Cinnamon 2 spoonfuls
1 Egg
Milk 3 spoonfuls
Butter 3/4 cup
Baking Powder 1 to 1.5 spoonfuls
Raisins/sultanas 5 spoonfuls
(substitute with 1 cup butter and 5 spoonfuls milk if you want an eggless cake)
Method:
- Mix the flour and sugar together.
- Warm the butter and fold it in the flour.
- Add the grated carrot and the egg.
- Now add the ground nutmeg, cinnamon, raisins and the milk. Add the baking powder. You may add more sugar depending on how sweet you want your cake to be.
- Mix the above batter well till you get a smooth, moist consistency. If the mixture appears too dry, add a little milk.
- Pour the mixture into a baking tin and bake in a preheated oven for about 30 mins...the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg will start wafting as the cake gets done. When the cake becomes a nice brown in color it means it is ready. Check it out by inserting a knife into the cake..it should come out clean.
This cake is excellent with coffee or cappucino. Bon appetite!!
