This moist, aromatic Gajar ka Halwa Cake has all the ingredients that we use in Gajar ka Halwa. So, you can imagine the actual taste and flavours, don’t miss baking it.
Before I start, all the ingredients were at room temperature.
Prepare a 6” round cake pan or loaf pan by greasing with oil and place a piece of baking paper at the bottom of the pan.
Mix the grated carrots with sugar, and keep aside for minimum 15 minutes. I did this step at the beginning then moved ahead further.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then whisk egg and ghee in a separate bowl, to this add the dry mixture in two batches. Keep mixing and start adding the milk slowly. Whisk until a lump-free batter forms.
Add the grated carrots along with all the syrup it would release within the batter preparation time. Next to add the grated mawa, and dry fruits. Mix well, transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Tap the cake pan gently on kitchen counter a couple of times to release the air bubbles. Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes and then run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan and carefully remove the cake. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave there until cool completely.
When cooled slice, serve, and enjoy!
