Notes for making whole wheat flour cake
Take the whole wheat flour fill lightly in the bowl . don’t press it or tap it to make 1 bowl measure.
Don’t use any oil which has smell for eg soya bean oil , groundnut oil etc.
If you want you can add 1- 2 eggs in this cake after beating them nicely it will make the cake little fluffy. I prefer it without egg!
If you don’t like chocolate cake you can avoid adding cocoa powder to it .
You can serve this cake with chocolate sauce or butter icing .
In place of sugar you can add demera sugar or sugar free natura if you are diet conscious or diabetic .
If you want reduce the quantity of oil if you r on dieting ,though cake becomes little dry if reduce the quantity
