I was looking for some healthy recipes for our wedding anniversary and to start with, wanted to prepare such a cake which is healthy and also very tasty and came across this Carrot honey whole wheat cake. I was skeptical before making this cake as, I always used sugar and no honey for the cake. Also , I never used whole wheat flour before for the cake. But trust me , this cake came out unbelievably tasty.

I didn’t use any butter here , but carrots make it moist , so need not worry whether the cake is going to be dry. You can also add some almond pieces along with carrots to give it nutty taste and more richer in nutrients.

My son is very particular about the taste , but he loved it so much and finished almost half in a day and didn’t even noticed that it is wheat cake and no sugar is being used. so let us start with it.

To Begin with,  apply some oil to round or square cake trays , sprinkle some flour and keep ready.
