Easy Tomato Carrot Cake With Oats Recipe | Oatmeal Cake Recipe With Tomatoes


You have got to be a health freak to think differently. Perhaps you have got to have the willingness to go to any extent to include different healthy ingredients in your diet. As far as I am concerned, I experiment with a number of ingredients so that I can come up with a healthy recipe that clicks with one and all. This eggless tomato carrot cake recipe with oats is one such example. You might wonder how a tomato cake would taste. Well, if you trust my recipes and believe my words, then this eggless cake recipe is a must try - for its sheer taste, health quotient, and eye-popping color. All plus points and no negatives of course. When I came across this idea of tomato cake, I started looking for similar recipes. Glad that I found lovefoodeat blog that had experimented with a tomato cake. Then it was no stopping me and I entered the experimental kitchen lab again with my tomato carrot cake idea.

This airfryer recipe was a hit at my home. My brother and bhabhi were here and they loved the healthy cake, bursting with cinnamon flavor, with tomatoes adding a beautiful crimson pop of color and oats boosting the fiber content.

Butterless Cake Ingredients

1 cup- 175 ml
1/2 cup- oats powder (you may make it a wholesome atta cake - omitting oats and substituting with whole wheat)
1/2 cup- barley flour/whole wheat flour
1/4 cup-oil (I have added olive oil)
1 tsp- cinnamon powder
1/4 cup-chopped tomato (I included one big tomato)
1 carrot shredded
1 tbsp- homemade golden syrup (check the video recipe below)
2 tbsp- jaggery powder/raw cane sugar
1 pinch- rock salt/mineral salt
1 tsp- apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp- baking powder
1/4 tsp- baking soda
Nuts/sesame seeds for garnishing
2 tbsp- water

How to make tomato cake with oats| Oatmeal Cake Recipe


  • Whisk together oil with raw cane sugar. Add golden syrup and whisk again until the mix looks light and a little fluffy. If you want a rich cake, add 1 tbsp of clarified butter and reduce the amount of olive oil.
  • Add chopped and de-seeded tomatoes. Next is the turn to add shredded/grated carrot and apple cider vinegar. 
  • In a separate bowl, mix powdered oats, barley flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Use a sifter to sift the flours well.
  • Slowly fold wet ingredients with the flour mix.
  • Do not overmix.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees for 10 mts. I have airfried the tomato cake.
  • Pour the thick batter into a greased baking pan, adding water to make sure it is not too thick.
  • Sprinkle nuts/sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake/airfry for 30-35 mts.
  • Check with a skewer or toothpick if the cake is done. If not, bake for a little longer.
  • My tomato cake was a little crumbly but nobody could tell it had tomato. I have still not revealed the secret.

Is Fermented Rice Healthy? How Do You Ferment Rice [Odisha's Pakhala Bhaat Recipe]

 What is the meaning Pakhala bhaat? Is Pakhala good for health? Is fermented rice healthy?  Or in other words, does curd rice have b12? These are some of the questions that have been asked every now and then. So in this video from the Odia cuisine, I present to you Odisha special Pakhala - the ancient Odia tradition of fermenting rice. Now coming back to making Pakhala at home. I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water. Drain off excess water and let the rice come to room temperature. Then mix it with curd, salt, and water and store in an earthen clay pot. Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice...
