Ingredients:

Maida/All purpose flour – 1/2 cup
Wheat flour – 1/2 cup
Grated carrot – 1/2 cup
Yoghurt/dahi – 3/4 cups
Olive Oil – 1/4 cup
Milk – 4 tbsp
Granulated Sugar – 3/4 cup
Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Salt -1/8 tsp
Chopped Almonds – 3 tbsp

 



Method:

1)  Preheat oven at 180 °C
2) Sift all purpose flour and wheat flour and keep it aside.
3) Add oil, yogurt, milk and sugar in a bowl and mix it well.
4) Now add all purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla essence, grated carrot and mix it well to form a smooth creamy batter.
5) Grease a cake tin evenly with oil. You can also use butter paper.
6) Transfer the content into a cake tin and sprinkle the chopped almonds.
7) Bake at same temperature for 20 minutes. Check after 20 minutes by inserting a toothpick at the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, then your cake is done or else continue baking for 5 more minutes and keep a watch on it.

Once the cake has cooled down, invert it on a wire rack and let it cool down completely.

You can enjoy this cake with a hot cup of coffee!!

Tips: I’ve used canola oil but you can replace it with sunflower oil or olive oil.

    I am on Weight Watchers and this sounds like a perfect cake, with the yogurt. I am not sure I can get the maida flour where Ilive in the United States but I think I would be able to substitute what we call "cake flour" for it. I pinned this on my Favorite Recipe board. Alana visiting from UBC.
