About this Recipe...
Who doesn't love cake? I love cakes and love to bake. But nowadays everyone is looking for healthier option, so if you are also in the same boat, then this cake recipe is perfect for your sweet cravings.
I have used here whole wheat flour and very less all purpose flour and instead of refined sugar I have used brown sugar. If you want you can make it completely with whole wheat flour and instead of brown sugar you can use jaggery or artificial sweetener. The cake is very soft, moist and the taste is awesome. The combination of chocolates and dates created a magic here with whole wheat flour.
So overall all the healthy ingredients are used to make this cake. Some people think that if they want to eat healthy, then they need to compromise with their taste buds. But I want to state that this is not necessary always, some foods are tasty as well as healthy and you can always enjoy them guilt free. This cake is the perfect example of this, a good option for weight watchers and diabetic people and one can enjoy it anytime specially with their evening cup of tea or coffee.
