Carrot Cake

Im not very fond of cooking everyday meals, but tell me to cook something special im game. So, i decided to try out a very old recipe for Carrot Cake that i remembered from the top of my head. And Buoy o Buoy - the cake turned out to be finger licking awesome. Here's the recipe -

Ingredients:
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup flour (maida)
2 tbsp cinnamon (dalchini)
1/2 tbsp nutmeg (Jaiphal)
1/2 tbsp ginger

Instructions:
Mix together carrots, sugar, ginger, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg until well blended.
Beat the egg white and yellow separately. Mix them with oil and blend the above mixture well.
Pour into a microwave pan. Microwave for 6-7 minutes on high power, turning once or twice. Let cake stand 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Cheat Codes to a perfect cake:
Blend the mixture in one direction only, or you'l get knots in the cake.
Grind the sugar to avoid sugar crystals.
Use a toothpick to poke into the cake to check if its cooked. If the stick is clean, the cake is baked.

Do try out the recipe and tell me how it was!!
