Notes | FAQ

- Cooking time would vary based on oven setting. So adjust cooking time accordingly.
- The same batter can be poured into a cake pan and baked into a delicious carrot cake. You can use a cream cheese frosting similar to the red velvet cake.
- I had added the raisins, but skipped the chopped walnuts.
