Dates and Carrot Cake / Healthy Carrot and Dates Cake / Moist carrot dates cake recipe

Dates and Carrot Cake: This is a healthy carrot and dates cake in which part of the maida (all-purpose flour) is replaced with whole wheat flour. This is not just a healthier version, but also a tastier one, for it has the right proportions of the star ingredients - carrots and dates, and also includes chopped nuts. You could use either cashew nuts or walnuts as these go well with dates and carrots. The smaller bright orange carrots are best suited for this delicious and moist dates and carrot cake.
This incredibly tasty and healthy carrot and dates cake would make an excellent Easter cake, and even a good choice of Christmas Cake. So do give it a shot. You'll love it, and so will your family.

[@PataCake]

The full recipe here: veenapatwardhan.com/pat-a-cake/2022/04/14/softmoistdatesandcarrotcake/ Special Note: Golden brown caramel will be sweeter. Dark caramel will have a bittersweet taste that's a perfect fit for this delicious cake. Some have asked me about a dry caramel. To start with a dry caramel, add the sugar to a thick-bottomed pan and spread it to form a uniform layer. (You don''t have to add any water at this stage.) Heat it on medium heat without any stirring. It will start caramelising from the edges. After a good amount of sugar has caramelised, reduce the heat to low and start swirling the sugar around by tilting the pan this way and that till all the sugar has caramelised. Keep swirling it, and as soon as it gets a deeper brown colour, turn off the heat. Carefully add in the hot water, and stir the caramel syrup with a metal spoon. The caramel will start bubbling and release a lot of steam. This is a quicker way of making the caramel syrup, but you have to be extra careful when caramelising the sugar as it can easily get burnt. Wishing everyone the blessings of Easter!

[@Larry-qf7lw]

Veena dear wanted to write last night about my experience with the cake. As I told you earlier I was lucky to use my weighing scale so the measurements went right. I had a problem making the caramel. I did exactly as you said and on low flame since am used to making the caramel for the christmas cake. I used a pan just like yours a thick stainless steel pan. The sugar melted and I was waiting for the color to change but instead all the water evaporated and became sugar again. I continued and at last the color changed. I waited for a while to get a dark color then I put 1/4 cup water and had to put it back on the fire to thicken it a bit. It was fine and instead of adding 2 tbs extra oil to the 1/2 cup I just went with 1/2 cup. The rest was the same. The cake is super delicious and moist as ever. Only the baking time in my oven took 1 hrs 15 mins but it is all ok and super delicious. Tku veena. You are a wonderful person. You were with me and answered all my Qs. Tku so much and God bless you

[@PataCake]

You're most, most welcome, Larry. Was wondering about the cake since I didn't hear back from you. But many thanks for the update. Yes, making the caramel is a little tricky as the sugar has to start changing colour while it is still in the melted stage. Anyway, so very glad that in the end, your cake turned out great. It is a very delicious cake and am happy to know you finally got it right.Good night and God bless!

[@bernierebecca8911]

Looks yummy

[@PataCake]

@@bernierebecca8911 , thanks a lot for your appreciation.

[@pauljaya774]

to avoid caramelization, you can add 1/4 tsp lemon juice to the sugar syrup. hope this helps.😀

[@PataCake]

@@pauljaya774. you're right. But even without the lemon juice, if you make the caramel correctly, there's no major problem with crystallization. Some people even add a little butter towards the end to make sure the sugar doesn't all crystallize again. If just a little sugar crystallizes along the walls of the vessel, there's no problem because when you add the water, this crystallized sugar from the sides dissolves into it.

[@anniejones6289]

Hi Mam cake seems delicious. I would definitely try. I am vegetarian hence can not use eggs. Without eggs can I prepare I ike u or I have to replace the same with any other ingredients.

[@PataCake]

Sure, @@salochanabahlani2703. Instead of eggs, whip up 3/4 cup of yogurt and then mix that into the batter. But depending on how thick or how watery your yogurt is, you might need to add a little less or a little more of water at the end while adjusting the consistency of the batter, if it's necessary to adjust it. Also, reduce the oil to 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp. Everything else will stay the same. Enjoy! And thanks for the appreciation.

Will add this to my list of requested videos, Jocyleen. When I start making videos on baking essentials (not baking recipes), I'll make a video on this topic.

Hi Veena Please let me know if instead of using oil i can use butter? And how much butter? My daughter doesn't like the taste of oil. Thank you so much.

[@PataCake]

My pleasure to be of help, Lalita. In this cake, you won't feel the taste of oil if you use any refined oil like sunflower oil, rice bran oil, etc. The oil keeps this tasty cake nice and moist. But if you feel you would rather add butter, just replace the oil with an equal quantity of butter. (Though I recommend you stick with using oil. In many chocolate cakes too, oil is used to make them moister.)

[@lalitadsouza5709]

Thanks Veena for your reply. I use safola gold oil. Will do as you say! You are Simply the Best! I've read your bio. Amazing ❤️🤗

[@PataCake]

@@lalitadsouza5709, you're most welcome. Thanks for your love and kind appreciation.🥰

Veena can ready powdered sugar be used. I have coconut oil and sunflower oil can I use any of these oils

[@PataCake]

Yes, you could use ready powdered sugar for the cake as well as for the caramel. But use the sugar by weight, not by volume. And sunflower oil would be more suitable for this recipe or any other cake recipe.

[@Larry-qf7lw]

@@PataCake you are wonderful. Tku so much for your quick response

[@PataCake]

@@Larry-qf7lw , I'm glad to be of help.

[@UshaRani-st3yf]

Veenaji pl post eggless recipes. Thank you.

[@PataCake]

Sure, Usha. I already have several eggless cake and biscuits recipes on my channel. Also many eggless breakfast dishes too. A recent video was on soft vegetable dhoklas. You''ll find all my youtube videos here: kzbin.infovideos And for an eggless version of this dates and carrot cake, instead of eggs, add in 3/4 cup of whipped yogurt. Depending on how thick or watery your yogurt is, you might have to adjust the consistency of the final batter (if necessary) with water. Also reduce the oil to 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp. Everything else will stay the same. Hope this helps.

[@Larry-qf7lw]

Veena went through the video, I will need to make the caramel syrup which I will do, I think only let me know if I can use powdered sugar but if you feel granulated sugar is better, don't worry I will use it. I will not use the caramel color. YOur caramel sugar looks superb.

[@PataCake]

You'll have to use granulated sugar, Larry. But in case you want a way of getting out of preparing the caramel syrup, you could replace this with dark molasses, approximately half a cup. You might need a little more. Go by the consistency of the final batter which has to have a ribbon consistency. (I however prefer the flavour of caramel syrup.)

[@Larry-qf7lw]

@@PataCake no Veena the caramel syrup that I have in my cakes when required it is just 2 tsps for the dark color. I prefer making the caramel syrup. It looks superb

[@PataCake]

@@Larry-qf7lw , glad you've decided to just go ahead and make the caramel syrup.

Can ypu make this in a cooker?

[@PataCake]

Yes, you can, Bertha, that is, if you have experience of baking other cakes in the cooker. Knowing how to adjust the heat of your gas stove is important here. You could also bake this in a kadai on your stove top. Please see this other cake video of mine (eggless orange cake) about adjusting the heat while baking in a kadai: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZXMi3WaZ5esgtU

[@tayorobinson18]

Hello madam veena. ..I tried your recipe on carrot cake and ht came out nice. So I want to ask you can I use melted butter instead of vegetable oil?

[@PataCake]

So glad your carrot cake turned out great, Tayo. You could replace oil with melted butter, but the purpose of using oil here is because it keeps the cake softer for longer.

[@tayorobinson18]

Oh OK. .....thanks.

[@PataCake]

@@tayorobinson18 , you're most welcome.

[@venyb2502]

Suparb cake 🙂 but what is the substitute for maida pls let me know my daughter is allergic to maida

[@PataCake]

You could replace the maida with whole wheat flour. However, you will have to increase the baking powder by 1/4 tsp. The cake could be slightly denser but it will still be very, very tasty!

[@rosiefernandiz7026]

Hi , good morning. Can I bake this without an oven ?

[@PataCake]

Yes, you could, Rosie. If you're baking in a covered kadai, then preheat the kadai for 5 minutes on medium heat. But bake the cake with the heat on low.

[@jocyleenfernandes578]

Good morning Veena Pls share tip If this cake has to be juicy for 2 more days what is your suggestion?Last week I made this cake taste is excellent. Only thing it is little dry. 😃

[@PataCake]

Good question, Jocyleen. The thing is that all cakes tend to dry out after a week. To keep them moist longer, you have to wrap them in butter paper. However, this cake naturally stays moist longer because of two ingredients: Dates and oil. While butter cakes dry out fast, oil cakes remain moist longer. I don't know after exactly how many days your cake started becoming dry, but one reason why a cake can dry out earlier is if the consistency of the batter was not adjusted properly at the end. For this cake, the batter has to have a flowing, ribbon consistency, not a dropping consistency. No next time, pay attention to this point and also cover the cake well while storing it at room temperature. OK?

[@jocyleenfernandes578]

Veena, Thanks a lot 😃

Hi do u have a recipe book of your own

[@PataCake]

Not yet, Agnello. But I'm working on one. ☺

[@jeeta386]

Hi mam can u please tell me what will be the exact weight of the Cake according to this measures

[@PataCake]

Sorry, Shiny, I can't tell you the exact weight as I've never weighed this cake after baking it. But roughly, it should be over 1 kg, maybe between 1 and 1.2 Kg.

[@jocyleenfernandes578]

Good evening Veena This time I'm planning to make Dates & carrot cake with 9 eggs.Any tip u would like to share with me? Good night 😴

[@PataCake]

Hi Jocyleen! Hope you're not planning on making one large cake. That would be a very heavy cake. It would be better to make two or three cakes with 9 eggs. For two cakes you'll need 4 and 1/2 eggs per cake. All the ingredients can be multiplied proportionately when using more eggs.

[@jocyleenfernandes578]

S, Veena I totally agree with u. Thanks stay blessed

[@PataCake]

​@@jocyleenfernandes578 , it's my pleasure to be of help. May you stay blessed too.
