Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  • Sift together the whole wheat flour, barley flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered jaggery, vanilla extract, and oil until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Prepare the Cashews

  • In a small bowl, lightly toss the cashews with 2-3 tablespoons of whole wheat flour.

Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Bake the Cake

  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the floured cashews evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Healthy Chocolate Nut Cake

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • If your jaggery is not finely powdered, pulse it in a food processor before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
  • For a moister cake, add 1-2 tablespoons of applesauce to the wet ingredients.
