Here I give you the ultimate healthy bake – Eggless Whole Wheat Ragi Cake. The cake is made with finger millet flour.
Ragi Cake
When I was looking for a cake to try my hands on first time, I stumbled upon this Whole wheat Ragi chocolate cake. I decided to give it a try as it is super healthy. I did adjust a little with the ingredients. It turned out to be super good. Kids loved it. You can have it as a dessert or pack it in a snack box for kids.
This Valentine’s Day bake this healthy yummy cake for your loved ones.
How to make Ragi cake
Usually, the cakes are made with all-purpose flour. But I like to bake my cake with whole wheat flour and in this as a twist, I added ragi /finger millet four along with whole wheat flour to make it healthy. And it is eggless too. So there are no beating eggs to the peak step. Just mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients. Mix both and bake in preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes or till done.

Thanks my friend – Thinking up a storm for a good theme. Will await your submissions for April
Me too ?☺
If you think of something please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks so much, How about we do this on a monthly basis, that a participant in the previous month have the option to choose the next theme. OK, this is your turn. Please let me know if possible what the theme would be no later than 25th, as I will still need to prepare the post for release on the 1st. Are you up to it??
This sounds great ?…I was thinking that have we done cookies theme yet. If not how about doing that?
Would it be possible to choose a differeent theme, as we did Cookies in December. Anything else, or even just an ingredient.
Ok..Seems I got poor memory ?…I thought color of the food will be interesting. If so green colored food. If not , then going on ingredients, green leafy vegetables.
Like the idea of green leafy vegetables. Great we will use that then. So you now know the theme but we will keep it secret till the release on 1 April for the rest
Sure????
