Hello guys,
Baking is a therapy. I have done a few posts earlier sharing my immense love for baking. Here are the links:
whole wheat biscuits (eggless)
whole-wheat-pista-almond-biscuits (eggless)
healthy-walnut-and-dates-whole-wheat (eggless)
Few points common to all my baking recipes:-
Yesterday I tried whole wheat walnut sprinkled chocolate cake, and yes, that too is eggless. I am quite happy with the result.
For the first time, I tried a theme cake. The idea was to attract the attention of my little one and serve him this delicacy with the cartoon character he loves.
Theme: Chota Bheem & Gummy Bears kingdom
Story: Chota Bheem was the ruler of a chocolate island and used to stay on a walnut cobbled chocolate surface. The island was well guarded by his colourful trusted gummy bears who in order to protect their king could use their magical ability to jump off from the chocolate imbued island onto enemies. Gummies protected both the king and his favourite chocolate from enemies.
My son bought the story ☺.
Here is the recipe:
Ingredients-
(Wet)
Olive oil 1/3 cup
Milk 3/4 cup
Vanilla extract 1 tbsp
(Dry)
Whole Wheat flour 1 cup
Sugar 3/4 cup
Baking powder 1 tbsp
Baking soda 1/2 tbsp
Walnuts 3 to 4, preferable tossed cut and tossed in butter for extra crunch
Garnish Jelly candies
OTG/OVEN/MICROWAVE for baking
I have an OTG. So, all my recipes are OTG baked. In case slight varariation is required in temperature and quantity as per your baking device, do it. That you would know after trying. Remember, baking is nothing but trying trying till you succeed.
Method-
1. Sift the dry ingredients together thrice.
2. Mix all the wet ingredients.
3. Gradually, fold wet mixture into the dry one. Then, blend with cut and fold method to incorporate air into the batter. (DO NOT OVERMIX.)
4. Sprinkle the walnuts on top. It can be added while mixing dry and wet ingredients step too.
Pre-heat the oven for ten minutes at 180 degree celcius and bake for 40 minutes.
After baking, cool the cake for about half an hour and coat with chocolate glaze.
Method for preparing chocolate glaze- melt chocolate in double bolier, add cream/milk/butter and fold 4 tbsp of icing sugar into it. Get the glaze into running consistency.
Your cake will look something like this-
You'll instantly feel high after baking a satisfying recipe.

Happy baking!

Few points common to all my baking recipes:-
- All the recipes are eggless and made from whole wheat flour. Since I bake for my kiddo, I don't bring in unhealthy ingredients into my recipe.
- Recipes have been tried multiple times, noting exact ,measurements, temperature and other observations to arrive at sumptuous results.
- Milk, curd, buttermilk, olive oil have been used as substitute to add volume to cakes and cookies in lieu of eggs.
- Size of the cake- 1 kg approx, so use the container accordingly to avoid spill over
