I always love to try cakes that can be made with simple ingredients available in our kitchen. So when there is a Birthday in the family I try out these simple cakes.
Came across this recipe of making the cake with Raagi. I do not like anything fully with Raagi so thought of adding wheat to it and give a chocolate flavour.
Ragi Chocolate Cake – It’s Healthy!
Ragi chocolate cake is more of a healthy cake, as the main ingredients are ragi, wheat and butter. The cake came out to be moist and chocolaty.
Sieve the Ragi and wheat before you bake it. The cake mix should not be thick, see that it is of gta vice cityconsistency and not watery.
For the chocolate Ganache, I have used pure dark chocolate, so that this can be consumed by a diabetic person. In the Recipe, I have put the Ganache only on the top layer, you can also spread a layer of this in-between. It will taste better and chocolaty
I have used thinly sliced almonds and chocolate gratings for garnishing the cake.
Enjoy this super yummy Ragi chocolate cake with rich and pure dark chocolate Ganache! I am sure will make your celebration a special one.
