Healthy Vegetarian Carrot Snack Cake image

A truly healthy snack cake! This makes a large panful - cut into squares it keeps well in the fridge in a sealed container for a few days and makes a light but satisfying snack, or breakfast, or picnic munchie. This recipe comes from an Indian cooking website, the name of which I have lost. If you recognize this recipe and know who invented it, please let me know!

Time 1h

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups carrots, grated
1 cup nuts, chopped, pecans if possible
1/2 cup coconut flakes, dry unsweetened
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground aniseed
2 big bananas, ripe and mashed and beaten until fluffy
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup brown sugar, loosely packed

Steps:

  • Turn on the oven, set to 350.
  • Mix flour, carrots, nuts, coconut, raisins and baking soda in a big bowl.
  • Mix anise, bananas, oil and brown sugar in a smaller bowl.
  • Add wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredient mixture, and stir gently but thoroughly. Add some milk, a bit at a time, if the batter is too thick to stir comfortably (it should be thick, though, not runny!).
  • Pour into large buttered cake pan.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes, until toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in pan, and cut into squares. Refrigerate if you want it to last longer. Enjoy!

I've tried many carrot cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of moist and fluffy, and the flavor is out of this world.

This carrot cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This carrot cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked it, but I'm not sure. The flavor was good, but the texture was just a bit off.

I've made this carrot cake several times now and it's always a hit! It's so moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. I love that it's a healthier version of carrot cake, but it still tastes indulgent.
