Maida, sugar, milk are some of the common ingredients bakers use to prepare cakes. But then what to do when we want to avoid these harmful ingredients. Well! Bake a cake yourself! Here’s a cake recipe without any refined food flour, dairy or sugar! Do try!

Ingredients

• Plant milk like almond milkor coconut milk:1 cup
• Whole wheat flour:1 cup
• Cold-pressed coconut oil:1/3 cup
• Lemon juice:1 tbsp
• Coconut sugar powdered (jaggery powder can also be used in the same proportion):1 cup
• Baking soda:1 tsp
• Baking powder:1 tsp
• Cacao powder:2-3 tbsp
• Vanilla extract:1 tsp
• Powdered rock salt:1/4 tsp

Method

• Sift the dry ingredients.
• Mix milk with lemon juice and keep aside.
• Mix the other wet ingredients to the milk mixture.
• Mix the wet and dry gently without any lumps.
• Pour into a 6 inch pan lined with parchment paper and bake at 180 C for 30 mins or until the toothpick test comes clean.

Wellcure Tips:

• Instead of making one large cake, you can make cupcakes. Fill in cupcake moulds to make cupcakes. This may take a little less time than the whole cake so keep a watch on the baking.
• If you need frosting on top, you can make a paste of cashew nuts, dates, cacao powder and vanilla and spread on top.

Eating Guide:

• Great replacement for the commercially available cakes that are loaded with sugar, artificial colours etc.
• Try adding to your healthy menu when hosting a kid’s birthday party.
