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.

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
