Eggless Whole Wheat Date Chocolate Cake, recipe worth trying

Making cakes that are eggless can be tricky and turn dense, especially when you’re using whole wheat flour.

But this cake turns out soft, and rich in chocolate flavor. It is a simple chocolate cake recipe for keeps. Moreover, this cake recipe can be used for get together, special occasions and for gifting also.

Ingredient list

Whole Wheat flour – instead of All purpose Flour (maida)

Dates – if with seeds, first de seed and then use. I have used Medjool dates.

Milk – Any dairy milk would work. If you are vegan then use any plant based milk of your choice. I have 2 ingredient homemade almond milk and 2 ingredient homemade coconut milk recipes on the blog.

Milk powder – any brand milk powder can be used here. Adding milk powder to cakes enhances the brown color, improves the consistency of batter and boosts richness. It concentrates milk proteins and sugars to create a softer, more tender crumb.

Oil – Any flavourless oil would work for this recipe.

Baking powder and Baking soda – Both are important leavening agents.

Cocoa powder – for flavour and colour. Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder preferably.

vanilla essence – I have used Natural Bourbon Vanilla from Sprig brand.

For garnish 

Walnuts

chocolate chips

Dry rose petals (optional)
