Eggless Almond Carrot Cake

This is amazing combination of carrot and almonds. When ever I came across carrot cake I never saw almonds or any nuts along!!

And to make it worse when I was browsing once some1 had written carrot cake taste more like gajjar ka halwa!! My stepping ahead footsteps  towards baking a carrot cake all stopped!! There were 2 reasons

1) I do stove top baking so I make sure I use a fool proof recipe which can give a good result to my work done!! It isnt hard to bake on stove top but still I have had a bad experince with smelly cake with a totally wrong recipe hah I now have to take deep breathings until baking completes lolz,

2) What if it dont taste gud??? I'll have to land up eating everything myself which I cant do I think I can never tried haha.
