Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- ½ cup Ragi Flour finger millet flour
- 1 cup Jaggery
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- ¾ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¾ cup Yogurt thick
- ¼ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Neutral Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Honey
- ½ cup Walnuts toasted and chopped
Chocolate Sauce Ingredients
- 2 cup Milk
- 4 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 4 Tbsp Sugar brown
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
Chocolate Curls
- ¼ cup Chocolate dark, shaved or chopped for curls
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan, or line it with parchment paper. This ensures the cake won't stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Sifting helps combine the ingredients and creates a lighter cake.
- In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, honey, jaggery, oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
- Gently fold in the toasted and chopped walnuts. Coating the walnuts in a bit of flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap it gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now let us prepare chocolate sauce
- In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, cocoa powder, and brown sugar until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the sauce cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the chocolate sauce over it.
To make chocolate curls
- Let the dark chocolate sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften slightly. Using a vegetable peeler, create chocolate curls.
- Refrigerate the chocolate curls until firm, then sprinkle them over the cake.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You don't need an electric mixer for this recipe; a wire whisk is sufficient for combining the wet and dry ingredients.
Expert Tips
- For a smoother batter, whisk the dry ingredients together first to remove any lumps before adding the wet ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour and result in a tougher final product.
- Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding a little more liquid if it's too thick, or a little more flour if it's too thin.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to [Number] days.
