I have already shared before that Chocolate cake is my favorite one. So this is one cake I like to make often with different variations. I enjoy it with a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
These days my children also enjoy chocolate cake. So I wanted to try making a healthy variation of this cake. Something which is perfect for them to eat as snack any time and even I can enjoy without any guilt. On experimenting, I ended up with this recipe. It is healthy cake made with whole wheat flour instead of maida and naatu chakkarai (brown sugar) instead of refined sugar. I have also made it without using eggs and butter. Yes, its hard to believe but its a NO MAIDA, NO EGGS, NO REFINED SUGAR, NO BUTTER cake.
This recipe is simple to make with few ingredients yet yields a super moist chocolate cake. The cake doesn't need any fancy equipment's to make and can be made easily with kids. Its a tasty after school snack that they will enjoy. I do not add any frosting to keep it healthy. Instead I add chocolate chips to make it extra chocolatey. Let's look into the recipe.
