    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.

    I love experimenting in my kitchen and with a bag of carrots lying in my pantry I wanted to do something interesting and new with it. I told the idea to my husband. He was fully excited about this as well. 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.

    The wonderful aroma of Carrot Halwa is an experience in itself that you should not miss. Honestly the only hard part of this recipe was to wait for the cake to cool down completely before drizzling the glaze.

    I am drooling thinking of the cake while writing this post and I just grabbed my 3rd slice for the day... 🙂

    You can find detailed recipe for here for Carrot Halwa. I have prepared carrot halwa using a shortcut method. Once you have this ready you will only have to mix it with basic cake ingredients and you are done.

    To prepare Carrot Halwa Cake, in a large bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and mix. To this add milk, oil, vanilla extract and mix until everything comes together. Do not over mix the batter. Fold in the Carrot Halwa and transfer the batter to a greased loaf pan and bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until done. That is, a toothpick or knife when inserted comes out clean. My oven took exactly 60 minutes to bake this.

    This is the most hardest part. Allow it to cool down completely on a wire rack or pan even before you glaze the cake. Else the glaze will melt and flow apart. 

    To prepare Sour Cream Glaze, in a bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Drizzle this on top of the cake and then garnish it with some almonds or pistachios or pecans.

    This recipe is eggless. You can also make it vegan by substituting milk with almond milk or coconut milk. I have not added any nuts and dry fruits to my cake batter as I have already added it while preparing Carrot Halwa.
