Whole Wheat Black Carrot Cake

You will love this incredibly moist and easy Whole Wheat Black Carrot Cake recipe with a delicious cream cheese frosting. It’s effortless to make and tastes incredible.This Whole Wheat Black Carrot Cake is a simple cake but can be very quickly converted into a festive cake.

For this recipe, I have used Black Carrots for some added nutrients and also I wanted to experiment with black carrots. But you are free to use any other variety of carrot. Believe me, the cake will still taste delicious.

Incredibly nutritious, black carrots have high amounts of anthocyanins, a pigment that gives the vegetable a deep purple colour that looks almost black. Winters in India are incomplete without various carrot preparations. 

I have used regular whole wheat flour which is used for making chapati or roti for this recipe. The brand that I used is Ashirwad which is a very popular Indian Brand for whole wheat. Again, this is a very forgiving recipe, so feel free to use any variety of whole wheat flour.
