Traditionally eggs are used to make carrot cake but in this recipe, I have baked the cake without any eggs. It turned out really amazing and I bet you won’t even miss the eggs.

  2. Hi Sapna,
    I like your recipe of eggless carrot & almonds cake but I have few questions:
    1)What is a cake flour & what can I substitute it with?
    2)Can I omit granulated sugar since we are using condensed milk which is sweet anyways?

    Awaiting for your reply.

    Thanks,
    Karishma.

    • Hi Karishma , Thanks for trying my recipe.

      1) Cake flour is 1 cup all purpose flour (maida) – 2 tablespoon of it plus 2 tablespoon of corn starch /corn flour sifted 3 -4 times
      you can simply replace it with all purpose flour .

      2) Of course you can omit sugar , just use 3/4 cup of condensed milk instead or as per your taste.

      you
