Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 150 gm Millet
- 2 Large Eggs
- 105 gm Coconut Oil
- 85 gm Honey
- 90 gm Sugar brown
- 60 gm Carrot finely grated
- 4 gm Baking Powder
- 2 gm Psyllium Husk Powder
- 5 gm Lemon Zest
- 2 gm Cinnamon ground
- 30 gm Raisins
Yogurt Frosting
- 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/3 cup Cream Cheese softened
- 2 tbsp Honey
Instructions
- Dry roast the millet in a pan over medium heat until fragrant. This enhances the nutty flavor. Let it cool completely, then grind into a coarse powder with a texture similar to semolina.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the ground millet, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, cinnamon, and half of the brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and the remaining brown sugar until light and frothy.
- Add the coconut oil and honey to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, whisking gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and lemon zest.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking pan. A springform pan works well.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a bowl, beat together the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and honey until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, frost it with the yogurt mixture and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For added texture and flavor, fold in a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans along with the grated carrots before baking.
- If you’d like a tangy frosting, try topping the cooled cake with a light lemon yogurt glaze or whipped cream cheese sweetened with a drizzle of honey.
- To ensure even baking and maintain the cake’s tender crumb, let all wet ingredients (eggs, coconut oil, and honey) come to room temperature before mixing with the dry ingredients.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Storage Instructions
- This cake keeps well for up to three days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature, or you can refrigerate it for up to a week—just bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
