Simple Steamed Carrot Cake.

I got this recipe from http://www.nibbledish.com/people/Joesze/recipes/modified-carrot-cake. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

It doesn't has the usual spiced aroma of carrot cake of course, but it is light, soft, and delicious in its own way.

What I did was turned it into cup cake and steam it for 15 minutes. The recipe below can make around 6 cupcakes. I continue by whipping up some cream cheese frosting and swirled it on top. Haha! So much for the healthy cake!

Yum yum...

How to make Modified Carrot Cake


STEAMED carrot cake WITHOUT cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract..& whatsoever ingredients u normally find in a carrot cake..this sounds a little funny, but suprisingly, it turned out well. Simple yet nice & healthy.

1st, mix all the ingredients marked with * until well-blended. Next, mix the ingredients marked with ** in a paper plate before adding slowly to the 1st mixture. Stir altogether & mix well. Pour into a cake pan & steam for about 35mins. Cut when cool.


Cream Cheese Frosting
250g Cream Cheese (room temperature)
100g-125g Butter (room temperature)
1 tsp Vanilla essence
Icing powder to your taste (I put in around 5 Tbsp, therefore not too sweet)

Using a mixer, creamed the cream cheese and butter until light.
Add in icing sugar until your desired sweetness
