    Eggless Chocolate Wheat Cake

    When I prepared beetroot wheat cake , my daughter become so happy and eats it well. But within a week she started demanding for chocolate cake.  😫 “chalo bhai lag jao phir se kaam pe”. 😜

    But the best part is she enjoyed it and take it in her lunch box. I used little of my kalakari😜 to make her happy by making eyes , nose and mouth with the muffins(Prepared from the remaining batter).

    • I prepared it in bati over, preheat the oven and put the tin over it for 55 minutes in low flame.
    • You can bake it in oven for 30 min in 160° after preheating it.
    • Let it be cool in the oven itself to maintain its fluffiness.
    • Take it out from the tin carefully and enjoyed it with your family.😋
    • I didn’t pour all the batter in the tin, and put the remaining batter in  muffins tray to make eyes,  and mouth of the cake😛 and insert half chotu munch  in the middle to make nose.
    • My daughter loves this idea and enjoyed it by clapping.
    • I never forget to prepare cake while traveling.

  • Wheat cake- yummy and healthy

    Wheat cake- yummy and healthy

    Hello all, very happy and damn excited to share my new experiment with cake. Earlier I prepared cake with maida ( finely milled refined and bleached wheat flour) as normally everyone do.

    But when my daughter grown up little and started eating it, I didn’t feel good when she eat it. Every child has a  trust on his mother , that whatever their mother give them  to eat is the healthiest food ever. When she ate that maida cake, guilt rolled around me.😪  So I decided to try it with wheat, and here is the outcome in front of you all.😃 Now my daughter used to take it in her lunch box  and share with her friends too.
