CARROT & WALNUT CAKE

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of milk

In a large mixing bowl, take the eggs and sugar and mix it for 5 minutes with a mixer. Add milk and vegetable oil gradually and whisk. Add flour and cinnamon to this mixture and mix them for another 5 minutes. Add carrot and walnut to the bowl and stir them with a spoon until they are well combined.

      Well, I made this healthy cake by replacing all the sugar quantity with a mixture of honey+grape pekmez, and the walnuts with 1 cup of oat flakes and 1/2 cup of finely chopped almonds. I also added 2 full spoonfuls of black raisins. Yes, it came out so soft-was not left intact on the cake plate for many days!!!!
      Thanx Iffet!
