  4. Add the vegetable oil (¼ cup) to the mix and whisk well.
  5. Now add the molasses and salt and continue whisking until it is mixed properly.
  6. Peel and grate the carrots. Take 2 cups of grated carrots and add to the prepared mix.
  7. Squeeze the orange and grate the orange zest. Add to the mix.
  8. Take 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and add to the mix.

  11. Fold the flour mix into the cake batter, spoon by spoon, and mix well. There should be no lumps in the mix.

  14. Pour the cake batter in the baking tin.
  15. Bake in the oven for 1½ hours.

  17. Let it cool for 30 minutes and cut in slices.
  18. You can store this healthy carrot cake for up to two weeks as the vegetable oil will keep it moist.

  21. You can also serve it with black sesame ice cream.
  22. Cream cheese frosting is one of the most preferred ways to serve carrot cake.
