You will love the rustic flavour of this honey flavoured chocolate cake, reinforced with grated carrot, nuts and raisins. The carrot helps to keep the cake moist, while chocolate makes it appeal to all! Condensed milk gives the Chocolate Carrot Loaf a very rich and intense flavour, which makes you want to reach out for another slice.

Recipe Description for Chocolate Carrot Loaf

Ingredients

2 tbsp cocoa powder
3/4 cup grated carrot
3/4 cup plain flour (maida)
2 tbsp castor sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp honey
a pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp chopped walnuts (akhrot)
2 tbsp raisins (kismis)

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and fold gently into a smooth batter making sure that no lumps remain.
2. Pour the batter into a greased and dusted 150 mm. (6") x 87 mm. (3½ ") loaf tin, pat the tin lightly so that the batter spreads evenly.
3. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°c (360°f) for 40 minutes.
4. Cool it, loosen the edges using a knife and demould it by inverting the tin over a rack and tap gently to unmould the loaf.
5. Cut into slices and serve immediately or store in an air-tight container. Use as required.

Handy tip

1. To test if the loaf is cooked, insert a knife or a skewer into the loaf. If it is cooked, the knife will come out clean.
