Hi friends, I hope all are having good Diwali evening with their family and friends. So, it is festival time,so,thought of writing about a cake which has low calories and good for health.
VANILLA FROSTING:
2 egg whites, at room temperature
Cream of tartar (1/2-teaspoon)
Honey (1/4-cup)
vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
1-cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
1. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating, adding the honey and vanilla.
2. Gradually add the nonfat dry milk powder, beating constantly, until the frosting is a good spreading consistency. It's not so hard to make a chocolate cake.
Carrot Cake:
This cake is favorite recipe of mine. If you don't like pecans, you can leave them out.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
Steps:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
In a big bowl, beat together eggs, oil, white sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in carrots. Fold in pecans. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
To Make Frosting:
In a medium bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped pecans. Frost the cooled cake.
So, that is all I have with me now. I will come up with more stuff like this.
With lots of love,
Madhu Vamsi..
