Egg-less Whole-Wheat Chocolate Cake is soft moist and utterly delicious.
My daughter has told me it is the best cake I have baked to date.
My love for sweets has no parallels. I simply can eat, drink and sleep on a sweet diet. My family, unfortunately, do not enjoy sweets other than cakes.
Now since they eat cakes I do bake cakes and chocolate ones are much preferred.
However, recent events in my life have forced me to look at healthy options for baking.
Yes, I am trying to replace Maida or All Purpose Flour with other healthier options. In this background, I remembered Priya who bakes such yummy cakes with whole wheat. I am featuring Priya’s healthier cake with absolutely no changes.
The only change I will make is to replace the ¾ cup sugar with 1 cup, as I generally do not ice my cakes. Since it was not sweet enough I served with homemade chocolate sauce.
