Carrot Cupcakes with Frozen Chocolate Yogurt Topping

I was in mood for some cheese cake, but thinking of the calories ended up making a slightly healthier cake. So here is my Carrot Cake with Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Topping recipe.

This is a vegetarian recipe and cooked in a microwave. It can't get simpler & healthier than this.

Ingredients:

For the cupcake

• 1 Cup-All Purpose Flour (I used ¾ Cup All Purpose Flour and ¼ Cup Whole Wheat Flour..I tried to add some healthy ingredients)
• ½ Cup-Grated Carrot(Though I felt you can use about ¾ Cup)
• ¾ Cup- Yogurt
• ¼ Cup-Oil
• 2-3 tsp-  Milk
• ½ Cup- Sugar
• ½ tsp- Vanilla essence
• ½ tsp- Baking Powder
• ½ tsp – Baking Soda
• Handful chopped Walnuts

Heart Shaped Carrot Cupcakes

Preparation

• Whisk Yogurt, Oil, Sugar, Milk together in a bowl until the sugar dissolves.
• Add vanilla essence to the mixture. Stir.
• Fold the grated carrot into the mix.
• Add flour, Baking powder, Baking soda.
• Mix in the chopped walnuts into the mixture.
• Pour into cupcake moulds and microwave for about 4-5 minutes at highest temperature.

Frozen Chocolate Yogurt

Ingredients:

• ½  Cup- Milk
• 1 ½ Cup- Hung Curd
• ½ Cup-Sugar
• 150 gm Chocolate
• ½ tsp- Vanilla essence

Frozen Chocolate Yogurt

Preparation:

• Mix Milk, Sugar and Yogurt until sugar dissolves.
• Melt Chocolate (You can melt it using a double boiler, or just microwave it about 2-3 mins.(I added 2-3 tbsp of milk to help it melt faster))
• Add melted chocolate to the mixture. Whisk the mixture.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Whisk it again and put it in the freezer for 30 mins.
• Whisk again and freeze again.

Your chocolate frozen yogurt is ready. You can have it as it is or drizzle it over the carrot cupcake like I did.
