<p>Madhavi Modha, founder of Annapurna Bakery and Cookery Class in Ghatkopar, explains the difference between an ordinary carrot cake and her special gajar ka halwa tea cake, &ldquo;In the former, you grate the carrot into the batter, but gajar halwa cake needs prepared halwa made with ghee, mava and milk. The taste is different.&rdquo; While carrot cake offers hints of sweet carrots with a cinnamon kick, gajar ka halwa cake sings of Indian flavours we know and love.</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong><br />. 140 gm maida&nbsp;<br />. 100 gm butter<br />. 200 gm Amul mithai mate&nbsp;<br />. 1/2 tsp elaichi powder<br />. 1 tsp baking powder&nbsp;<br />. 1/2 tsp baking soda&nbsp;<br />. 100 gm traditionally prepared gajar ka halwa&nbsp;<br />. 1/2 cup milk</p>

<p><strong>Method</strong><br />Mix the maida, baking powder and baking soda; set it aside. In a bowl, combine butter and Amul mithai mate. To this, add your prepared gajar ka halwa, mix well and gently. Cut and fold in the dry ingredients, elaichi and milk to form the batter. Pour into a greased and dusted cake tin. Bake at 160 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. Once baked, cool, cut and serve as is or with ice cream.</p><p>
