MOIST CARROT CAKE

Try this recipe to get a moist, cinnamony carrot cake. This is a classic cake, enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee. It can also be served as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Amongst the many carrot recipes, carrot cake is one such recipe I never miss to make during winters. This is my favourite recipe for carrot cake as it has whole wheat flour in it and also it is an easy to make recipe.

The cinnamon and walnuts go very well with carrots. A piece of warm carrot cake with a hot mug of coffee is what makes my winters more enjoyable!
