Eggless Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake

Hello Everyone!

A dear friend is visiting me today, so I thought of baking a cake for her and ended up making this wonderful eggless wholewheat chocolate cake.

I have seriously adopted the healthy & tasty theme and am very happy to acknowledge that you really don't have to compromise on the taste with whole wheat cakes.In fact in this one it's really hard to tell that it's whole wheat based.You just cannot find out from the taste.

I loved this cake because :-

1.It uses 100% whole wheat flour.
2.The baking ingredients used are simple and mostly available in the kitchen.Water, lime juice and baking soda does the trick in baking it.You don't need to worry if there are eggs or curd or milk or condensed milk (the usual baking ingredients) in store or not.
3.All in all, a very simple , healthy and tasty cake.

I loved it to say the least.It's the best chocolate cake recipe I have ever come across which is a perfect blend of simple and healthy ingredients.

Here's my Take!





Note:- I baked it at 180 deg Celsius and my cake was ready in 20 mins.

Eggless Whole Wheat Banana Cake



Hello everyone!

Today, my instincts got me to try this super awesome, healthy and utterly delicious banana cake.

I was craving for a genuine banana cake since the last few days but was a bit undecided on trying banana bread first or the cake.Finally, I gave in to the strong urge that prompted me to go for baking banana cake first. :-)

I was actually looking for an interesting healthier version as "Healthy & Tasty" is one theme that makes me cook guilt free without compromising on the taste-most important ! :-)

I am glad I came across this super awesome recipe :-

I found it very simple, the ingredients used were all very healthy and in the right quantity and proportion. This one is indeed a very healthy cake.In fact not only healthy but very "Tasty " as well. The gooey banana layer on the cake gives it a sandwich look where the bottom most layer looks like it is stuffed with a thick layer of banana pulp but the remaining cake is porous and well baked. The banana pulp gives it a unique texture and an amazing flavour.Spice it up with cinnamon powder and chopped walnuts to go bananas with this remarkable banana cake!

My version of the recipe :-

I used 6 elaichi bananas instead of the normal ones and around half a cup of cold milk to bring the batter to pouring consistency. My cake was ready in 30 mins. No other changes were made.

I also tried toasting the cake slices and trust me , it tasted even better and all my family members loved the toasted version. :-)
Here's the pic -



I highly recommend this one.One of the best tea-time cakes  I have ever had. In fact I feel this cake will very well go with the icing and decorations as well as it has a very stable base.

Happy Takes! & Happy Bites!

Coconut Doughnut Cake


Hello, everyone!

Here's my first blogpost in this blog-i have been thinking since ages to start a food blog , just to give an outlet to my passion for cooking and love for food.I'm glad, i finally did come up with one! :-)

Hoping to have fun here...to share everything related to cooking and food that interests me .

I must say, cooking and food drives me, rejuvenates me, excites me, heals me when i feel low or have a bad day-in short it makes me feel completely alive!


Now coming back to this post...

I was just leisurely enjoying my holiday , when suddenly I had a strong craving to have something made out of coconut milk powder or something with coconut....so i just searched and searched on the net to find some good recipes.I was basically thinking of using the maggi coconut milk powder in the cake recipe.I did a lot of random search on it and did land up with a cake recipe that was using coconut milk powder but somehow i didn't feel like going with it...and somehow I landed up at this food blog:-

As soon as I finished reading it, I knew i wanted to bake this.Yes, you have got it right-I am a very moody cook-i basically go with my instincts when it comes to cooking...and most of the times, even i don't know what i'll be cooking next. :-)...It always has to be something that I feel like having at that particular time. :-)


For the recipe- please check out the link above. I loved the recipe.It's completely accurate. Thumbs Up to it!

Happy Takes! & Happy Bites! :-)

P.S- I have just changed the name to suit the shape. :-)
