Carrot and walnut cake is nostalgia for me, it has all childhood memories when it comes to cake. This is the first cake i learnt making from my mom and she use to make it so nice that it use to be in demand in her office as well as among relatives. Using the traditional circular oven, cake making use to be an event in my house. This cake was a winter specialty and she always use to make it for my Capricorn winter birthday.

The aroma of freshly baked carrot cake still makes me nostalgic to all my childhood cake experiments and memories. I learnt this cake while helping my mom in kitchen as this was the only thing i was seen in kitchen those days.
