Whole wheat flour, carrots and walnuts make this eggless carrot cake a healthy option. The olive oil gives the cake a nice moist texture which remains so for at least two days, the cake will disappear much before that though. Eat as a tea time snack or use as a tiffin filler for kids.

can we use normal cooking oil instead of olive oil
You would have to use a very light flavoured oil which does not have any imposing/strong flavour.
