Can u believe this soft and moist chocolate cake is truly healthy and nutritious???..Absolutely i have used whole wheat pastry flour, brown rice flour,stone ground cornmeal,all purpose flour corn starch,rolled oats, ragi flour, with all these flours needless to say that this cake is definitely a healthy and guilt free cake to enjoy anytime..With banana puree, butter, creamy greek yogurt and flax seed meal, this cake turned out really moist, soft and spongy...This cake vanished within few hours coz everyone at home loved these spongy cake when they were still warm and the aroma came from the oven while baking this cake, tempted everyone and i can say that almost everyone were waiting to enjoy once they come out the oven....I used chocolate to cover up dark colour of the cake coz of multigrain flour particularly ragi flour coz my lil ones wont like that much the colour of the ragi flour and making out as chocolate cake works out truly prefect and none will notice anything,this is the way i feed sometimes my little family with healthy stuffs...Am sending this spongy cake to Madhu's Whole Grain Baking Event -Rice & to my own event Hearts For St.Valentine's Day..
