Today's recipe is carrot cake using wheat flour in Kadai. This carrot cake is very delectable, spongy, tasty and healthy. I used wheat flour, grated carrot, almonds and raisins to make it more healthy. Today I used sugar for sweetness, will plan to use jaggery for my future cakes. As I have small pressure cooker in which my mould do not fit. So I used big Kadai to prepare this. We all love cakes, when it is prepared in healthy way then we love bit more 😍. I am not expert in baking, semolina/ rava cake is my 1 st cake which I prepared for #MMC fb group competition, my 2nd cake was Rava chocolate cake which i prepared for my anniversary and it is my 1st cake in blog. And this whole wheat flour carrot cake is my 3rd cake 😍🤞. I myself felt that I improved alot, obviously we all learn from our mistakes. Will share all tips I followed to get perfect cake 😍🤗.
Today's cake is sudden surprise to my hubby as he presented heart shaped cake mould and few other mould 2 months back. As I was in vaccation dint got chance to prepare it and preparing this cake is unplanned. D't be panic, trust me this cake turned very tasty, spongy, moist and in perfect thickness and shape.

Note
* If you are okay with maida you can replace it with wheat flour.
* Instead of sugar you can also add condensed milk or melted jaggery.
* You can also use cashew nuts and pistachios.
* As I mentioned my mould is not fitting in my pressure cooker(as is its 2l pressure cooker) so I used big Kadai.
* You can also use room temperature clarified butter instead of oil.
Tips
** Preheat the kadai/ pressure cooker on medium minimum 15 minutes, otherwise it will take more time to prepare cake.
** If you have electric blender then use it to mix batter.
** Take care that there will be no lumps in batter.
** Using Cinnamon powder or nutmeg powder will give you good flavour and taste to cake. I will purchase it soon.
** After pouring batter in mould tap it well so that no air bubbles will form.
** Dust nuts while spreading on cake, so that nuts do not sink nto cake while cooking.
** Let the cake cool to room temperature then only demould, otherwise it will break.
** Do not open lid many times, chances of sinking nuts into cake and we do not get fluffy cake.
** D't be panic if Ur cake is not ready in 30 - 40 minutes, let it cook on low - medium flames till it cook. If you do not preheat Ur kadai/ pressure cooker properly you may face this problem. So d't worry 😍.
