    Whole Wheat Strawberry Cake / healthy strawberry cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Whole wheat strawberry cake is tasty and naturally healthy. It has no butter, sugar or egg in it. Strawberries give a good taste to this bake.

    When it’s raining strawberries, you need to bake at least once isn’t it ? Life is good living and enjoying each moment. Baking is therapeutic and helps to relax the senses.

    Today, it’s a healthy bake with strawberry. Let us see what ingredients are used to make it healthier and the other options that you have here:

    • Wheat flour: Atta or wheat flour is naturally healthy and better than all purpose flour.
    • Corn flour: As cakes made with corn flour turn out dense, a little corn flour is added. Do not skip on sieving the flour.
    • Honey : As I thought of baking a healthy cake, I have used honey here. Castor sugar or brown sugar may be used.
    • Curd : It is the replacement for egg.
    • Baking powder and baking soda : They are the essentials of baking.
    • Milk : Milk is added to get the right consistency of the batter.
    • Strawberries: Use fresh strawberries.

    The other healthy bakes shared earlier are baked wheat crackers, mocha banana cake,

    The other strawberry recipes shared earlier : Strawberry Mojito, Strawberry Yoghurt, Strawberry Chia Souffle, Strawberry Jam. Children will surely love the jam and yoghurt.

    Almond Cookies | Almond Cookies Recipe | Christmas Treats |

    Almond cookies are soft, tasty, melt-in the-mouth cookies. They are made with a few ingredients and are egg free.

    We are in the last month of the year, 2020 is at last coming to a close. There seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel now. Christmas is here and time to celebrate isn’t it? Time to bake wonderful cakes and cookies. We do look forward to this month of merry and singing. Wishing all a Merry X-mas !

    I have earlier shared cornflake cookies, polvorones and floral cookies. Today, I have almond cookies. I have also shared posts of  butter cookies and ghee cookies.

    Almond cookies are melt in the mouth cookies, absolutely delicious and soft. They were crisp on the outside and soft inside. This is one of the cookies we loved the most.

    For the almond cookies recipe, grind almonds to a powder in the small jar. All purpose flour and almond powder are mixed together with sugar and butter. A few drops of essence is added and later bind to a dough with a little milk. Refrigeration is important, you can keep it upto four hours. Later, shape them to cookies, make a design and bake them. One can dust them with castor sugar, but I have not done it.

  • Best Chocolate Cake

    Best Chocolate Cake

    Chocolate cake is soft and moist, it is absolutely delicious. The ganache tastes good with it.

    Cakes are loved by all, we just need an occasion to bake it, isn’t it? Our favourite cake is the chocolate cake. As I had never made a cake using coconut oil,  thought of making one. Now, this was the first time I used it, both mother and daughter, were anguish with the results. Wondering, how it turned out? It was tasty and loved by all.

    Now, I have another chocolate cake here ! Life is a good learning experience, we do not understand, until it really matters.

    Chocolate cake can be made by using either the cocoa powder or the dark chocolate. Here, I have used dark chocolate.

    About the event:

    Sending this to Shhh Secretly Cooking group event, a monthly event, we are paired as partners and cook on a pre-scheduled theme. The partners exchange secret ingredients and cook accordingly. The secret ingredients are guessed later by other members. The theme was suggested by Mayuri Patel, who runs the group.  She has a wide range of dishes on her blog, love her desserts especially.  I loved her chocolate truffles, they look so delish.

    My partner was  Aruna, a talented blogger.  She blogs at Vasus Veg Kitchen. She has many healthy dishes from regional cuisines. I loved her bengali style vegetable  chops.   I told  Aruna I wished to make a cake with coconut oil and she agreed. She gave me  coconut oil and walnuts as the secret ingredients.  The ingredients that I gave were choco chips and vanilla essence and she prepared this delicious looking  Chocolate and Custard Jelly Cake.
