Carrot Halwa Cake is a fusion dessert that is rich, incredibly moist and filled with full of flavor. It is then topped with sour cream glaze which compliments it very well. And the end result is, the best CARROT CAKE you will ever make!
Carrot Halwa is a delicious, melt in mouth Indian pudding prepared using carrots, milk or condensed milk, butter or ghee, cardamom powder and dry fruits and nuts of your choice. In India, Carrot Halwa is prepared during winter months as carrots are in season. And here in USA, many of my friends prepare Carrot Cake for Christmas parties.
This year my cousin is hosting a Christmas party at her house and to surprise everyone I have decided to combine my two favorite things in the world, halwa and cake, and prepare this delicious Carrot Halwa Cake recipe.
You will not only love the end result but make it again and again and won't wait for Christmas or any special occasion. I also gave few cake slices to my friends and they just loved it. Even they were excited to try this at home. So this recipe is for my lovely friends and to all my readers. Make sure you bake them for your next dinner party, Christmas or Easter gatherings.
I am drooling thinking of the cake while writing this post and I just grabbed my 3rd slice for the day... 🙂
