Need a simple, easy cake? Here is the easiest cake recipe yet no compromise in the taste. My kids loved this Semolina Eggless Carrot Cake. This is a soft, crunchy cake with freshly grated carrot perfect for snacking. Let’s see how to make this cake with stepwise instructions.
Semolina Eggless Carrot Cake
What is Semolina? Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat mainly used in making upma, pasta, and couscous. Making the cake using Semolina is healthier than the All-purpose flour. You can also use brown sugar instead of sugar to make it healthier. The cake is soft and tastes great the next day.
How to make Eggless Carrot Cake using Semolina?
We are using yogurt in place of Egg in this recipe. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Then, beat the yogurt and sugar till the sugar dissolves. Then add oil to it and mix. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Then gently mix the freshly grated carrots with the batter. Transfer the batter to the greased pan and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven at 350 Deg F. Check by inserting the toothpick and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Once it is cooled down, remove it from the pan, dust it with powdered sugar, and serve.

Hello,
Can I use 2 tsp of baking powder instead? Coz got no baking soda.
Yes, you can try that.
Ohhh this looks SO good. My mama LOVES carrot cake, so tempted to try it for her sometime. Wonder how it would be with another substitute flour, like almond flour? (since any kind of wheat-based flour is impossible to find for so many of us these days…)
Thank you. Yes, this can be substituted for flour when there is not sufficient flour available.
I love carrot cake! and looks like a perfect healthy alternative. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome. Hope you give a try.
