I really want to bake a super moist and rich chocolate cake with barley flour and finally i baked some two weeks back for a friend's birthday. As she is a vegan foodie, i really checked few sites to get an interesting chocolate cake,but finally i got hooked to Madhu's Vegan Barley Chocolate Cake. Thanks to Madhu for giving us this beautiful,super moist cake and my friend simply loved this cake.Initially i was bit skeptical about the barley flour in cake, also i have read somewhere that barley flour are not glutenous like wheat flour or all purpose flour,while i went through this cake post at Madhu's place,she also shared the same thought, thank god she also had the same thought like me. After reading her post, i was very much confident and tried my hands with homemade barley flour.
This cake turned out extremely spongy and i was very much happy with the final result. You can try ur hands in making cakes with barley flour in case if you want to experiment like me. A wonderful alternative to those who dont want to make bakes with all purpose flour or wheat flour. As am running my third week of blogging marathon with baking with wholegrains as theme, am posting this beautiful chocolate cake.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#25.
