Pearl Millet Carrot Cake is a simple twist on the classic carrot cake. This cake is so easy even beginners can make it.
Makes a great option for breakfast on days you are in a hurry. Or pack them as your child's short break snack. Your teen will love some after a stressful day in school.
The best is no one knows you have used bajra or pearl millet to make the cake. So healthy millets into tummies with no complaints.

Mayuri Patel says
I've tried out cakes by substituting a bit of the wheat or plain flour with millet flours and they turn out so good, especially if eggs are added to them. Tried out this recipe and it turned out really soft and delicious. Hubby had no idea I've added pearl millet to it.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Mayuri for trying out. Hubby's never have a clue what goes in do they?
Priya Vj says
Awesome cake with bajra flour. I wouldn't have believed if someone said cakes made using millet flour turn as moist ,crumbly and soft as made with APF . Now I for sure know how we can shun ApF and use healthier choices for making cakes .
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 thanks.
Seema Sriram says
Inspite of bajra being a dry flour the cake turned out so moist. Love how delicious it is.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Seema.
Kalyani says
bajra is always bought by me with lots of enthusiasm to make bhakris and then it sees its way to the deep end of the freezer. Now I know what to make to make up for the no-baking season with the little one , who's quite upset with me 🙂 cake looks fab
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Kalyani she will love this cake.
Renu says
The texture of the cake looks amazing and with nuts loaded in it, I am sure to have some with a cuppa. Saving it to try soon.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Renu.
