Carrot Flax Seed Cake

This version of the carrot cake is super healthy. A good way to feed kids who hate carrots. I have used the egg-less alternative by using Flax seeds. The flax seed powder gives a good texture to the cake. The first time I made the cake with flax seeds I was wondering how it would taste. But the cake came out spongy and delicious.

I made half of this measurement and got a 1/2 Kg cake

Preparation time - 45 minute

Ingredients:

All-purpose Flour (Maida) – 2 cups

Baking Powder – 1 tsp

I made few cup cakes another time with this recipe. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degree Celsius.
