My Mom is a fantastic cook and bakes yummy cakes.I learnt this carrot cake using all purpose flour and eggs from her.
But I always wanted to try it using whole wheat flour for my son who is 21 months old. So I tried this Whole wheat Carrot Cake Recipe where in I replaced eggs with baking powder and baking soda as eggs are not allowed at my place.
Just got to try this cake timely before the winters end and the season of yummy juicy carrots gets over.
Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Eggless Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup castor sugar
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 tsp vanilla essence optional
- 1 cup milk
Method
1. Dust the grated carrots with 1 tbsp of flour.This will help in mixing the carrots properly in the batter and they will not settle down in the cake tin.
2. Sieve flour,baking powder,baking soda and cinnamon powder and keep aside.
3. In a bowl mix oil,sugar(both),vanilla essence.
4. Mix properly till the sugar mixes thoroughly.
5. Now add flour mix and milk alternatively.
6. To the batter add carrots and mix.
7. The batter should be of dropping consistency. Add milk to adjust the consistency.
8. Pour it in a greased tin and bake in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes.
Always check in between because the heating varies from oven to oven.

Dr Hemapriya says
January 27, 2016 at 9:00 amHi Sagarika,
It can be baked at 180 degree Celsius, or the temperature in which you bake bakes in your oven, each oven is different and it is better you follow the instructions in the manual
