Whole Wheat Buttermilk Chocolate Cake is a basic no-fail cake that you can bake without any fuss. This cake is so simple that it hardly fails.
I have been baking this month with sub-themes and each week, though I decided to bake all the cakes in a loaf tin, I also planned for a specific theme per week. The first week was Pound Cakes, the second week was Banana Breads, third was Veggies and Fruits.
So for the final week, except the Yearly Christmas Cake, the rest will be Whole Wheat Chocolate Loaf Cakes. Yes, I decided that this week will be for my boys. While all the other bakes were very much enjoyed by everybody else, they didn't eat anything. I know I should make them, however, we can't force kids and felt I will make the next three cakes with chocolate.
This basic cake was shared by Priya Sri in our BM group some months back. I finally decided I must try it myself. It is an easy, no-fuss cake. So I will be trying other proportions based on this for the week.
For the Day 11 of Bakeathon 2018, I have this delicious Eggless Chocolate Loaf Cake.
I have other cakes with Whole Wheat and chocolate that surely make a great guiltless treat like Eggless Wheat Banana Tea Cake, Eggless Chocolate Atta Microwave Cake, Eggless Honey Banana Wheat Loaf.

How to make the Chocolate Cake
Sift all the dry ingredients together, keep them aside.
In a bowl, mix the sugar along with oil and buttermilk. Beat well.
Add the dry ingredients to the oil mix and gently combine well.
Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and flour the loaf tin and transfer the batter. The batter is thick, so you can level it up using the spatula.
Bake at 170C for 40 minutes. Mine was done at 40 mins.
Let it sit for a while before slicing.

Extremely prefect to slice and have this beautiful loaf cake without any fuss. Chocolate makes me drool and am drooling here. Beautiful loaf cake there.

Priya's recipe is making rounds and now I am remotem. The loaf looks beautiful and that crumb is what every Baker dreams about. Boys would be delighted for the final week.

Rafeeda - The Big Sweet Tooth says
Aww... I am surprised the boys love chocolate! 🙂 That's so nice... I have the elder one who loves chocolate in anything and the other one who finds it so bitter that she despises it, and I am not ready to load my bakes with too much sugar too! Hehe... I can't wait to see what all you come up with. Buttermilk is my newly found milk. Always end up curdling my milk and adding it to the batter, gives it so much moistness, isn't it? That cake looks like a winner and I won't be surprised that it disappeared...
sizzlingtastebuds says
Yup. Priya’s recipe is a winner st my place too. My little one who’s a cake lover will like this and the elder kid can eat most things with dark chocolate. Looks like a win for both of them..
