Eggless Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake is a delicious cake made with wheat flour and oil. This is yet another basic cake you can make for layer cakes.
This week is all about frosted cakes with chocolate and when I came across this post, though I seem to have the recipe in some format, the frosting caught my attention. The cake with the caramel ganache was really very sinful and tempting!
The cake is not sweet, very suitable for layered and frosted cakes. So I ended up using sugar water just to make sure these cakes make a good snacks for the kids. They are having their exams and are home by afternoon. After that they only want snacks. Though I frosted with the ganache, I felt a little bit more sweetness will be good.
I planned to bake everything over the weekend, somehow when I miss doing that, baking on weekdays become so hectic. Later I realized that I couldn't bake during weekdays for various reasons and so Konda said she will bake it for me. However, I made the caramel ganache and she baked the cake. I had to tell her precise instructions on how this is baked. I later frosted and clicked.
These are for my eighth day of Bake-a-thon and you can check out the collection at the end of the post for my friends who are doing this along with me.
PIN this for later!
