Eggless Carrot Cake



Starting the 3rd week of December,Bake-A-Thon with an exotic carrot cake.This eggless carrot cake is a soft,moist cake with a cinnamon flavor.The cake itself  tastes so delicious,to make it even more luscious,it can be glazed with cream cheese or any frosting.Finely chopped nuts and raisin would add a nice crunch to the cake.
Coming to the recipe here I have used both butter and oil.I skipped the raisins as my kids like smooth texture of the cake.So used finely chopped almond and pecans.
