Easy Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake

So here again, I bake with cocoa. Whenever I ask my daughter what my next bake should be, she wants something with chocolate. So this time I have baked a healthy chocolate cake. It is with whole wheat flour.No refined flour or white sugar has been used.

This cake is without eggs. I have used homemade curd. Make sure you keep it in a strainer to remove excess water or just use the ready-made curd. If the batter has more water the cake will be sticky. I have added coffee to this cake as coffee enhances the flavour of cocoa. You can skip the coffee if you don’t like it.

This healthy cake is the perfect partner for your evening cuppa. It is amazingly moist and tender. Try the recipe and don’t forget to share the feedback.
