I love the flavor of carrot cake, next to chocolate cake, carrot cake is my most favorite cake! My favorite carrot cake recipe is a huge cake and when I came across this small cake, I was elated! It takes only 2 minutes to put together and I had all the ingredients readily available in my kitchen.
The cake tastes absolutely delicious! So soft and moist! I cannot believe that microwave cakes come out so soft and moist. I made a few changes to the original recipe to suit my taste and my husband and me enjoyed this cake for an evening snack.

Recipe source - justapinch
Serves 2
Ingredients
- All purpose flour / maida - 6 tbsp
- Sugar - 3 tbsp (white or brown) I used white sugar
- Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
- Cinnamon powder - 1/4 tsp
- Nutmeg powder - 1/8 tsp
- Salt - 1/8 tsp
- Milk or Buttermilk - 4 tbsp
- Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
- Carrots - 3 tbsp (grated finely)
- Vanilla - 1/4 tsp
- Walnuts - 1 tbsp (or any nuts)
- Raisins - 1 tbsp
Here are some other instant microwave recipes
- Instant Mango Cake (no eggs & no butter)
- Instant Chocolate Brownie (no eggs & no butter)
- Instant Banana Bread (no butter)
- 1 minute eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie (no eggs & no butter)
- Instant Fruit Cake (no eggs & no butter)
Method
1. Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a microwave safe bowl and mix well.
2. Add the oil, milk, vanilla and mix again. If the mixture is too thick, add 1/2 tbsp - 1 tbsp more milk.
3. Add the carrots, walnuts and raisin and mix well. Make sure you mix thoroughly.
4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Check after 1 minute and 30 seconds, if not done microwave for 30 seconds more. Check with a tooth pick or skewer.
5. Let it cool and enjoy!
Add a dollop of cream cheese for an even better carrot cake!
Notes
1. Mine was done is 2 minutes. My microwave is 900 watts. Do not over cook the cake otherwise it will become rubbery.
Start checking from 90 seconds.
2. Use brown sugar if have handy, that will intensify the color of the cake.
3. The original recipe had only 2 tbsp sugar, I felt that was less hence I added 3 tbsp sugar. Adjust according to your taste.
4. I'm sure buttermilk will make the cake taste awesome, if you prefer using buttermilk, here's the link for how to make buttermilk for cakes.

ReplyDeleteA basic microwave used for re-heating is enough, only thing, timings will vary. Mine is 900 watts and it took 2 minutes. Set the timings according to that.
