    Dear Maria,
    I tried your Carrot cake. But it did not turn out like i wanted it to be grainy with the dessicated coconut in it. After the bake why did the cake just flop down my dear. Also I would like to omit the wheat flour as the cake just tasted of wheat flour. how can i make it better. thanks.

      HI Seema,

      Thanks for trying carrot cake 🙂 Firstly can you tell me which carrot cake have you tried is it the eggless carrot cake Or moist carrot cake? Secondly there are many factors one need to bear in mind while baking.

      The temperature of all ovens are different as all various kind of capacity and temperature. So you need to know your oven which you will learn slowly once you start baking. So don’t keep your oven at a very high temperature for baking unless the cake demands. Normally cakes are baked between 160°C to 180° C.

      Also wheat flour is used for more fiber and nutrients. You can skip wheat flour in the recipe and replace by refined flour if you don’t like wheat flour taste.

      Lemme know which cake you talking about I will throw some more light on it.

      Love,
      Maria
