Savory Cake



Last year i baked cakes.. ALOT !! So,this year i am just planning to take break with that...but its like addiction now to bake every now n then,may be i become bake-maniac ;)..
So,today my hand were dying to prepare the cake mix,but brain was arguing to make something healthy..first started with Carrot cake..than carrot whole wheat cake..then suddenly mind suggested why not try carrot savory cake !! So,i opened my fridge to get some carrot and again...there was whole bunch of vegetables...So,finally,i end up with this Mix-Veg Savory Cake !!! To make it lighter i thought of using semolina+whole wheat flour instead.
Very light in texture but so- so filling that make them ideal breakfast or on the go snacks..You can also store them in air-tight container for 2-3 days..




I prepared pancake from the leftover batter and it turned out nice light n fluffy snack.i simply spread some on ketchup on top and had it like roll.. :P ..so next time i ll make them for our breakfast for sure.
