Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 cup Rye Flour
- 1/4 cup Oats
- 1/4 cup Sattu
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Sugar organic
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Soy Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Lime Juice or white vinegar
Mix-Ins
- 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tbsp Coffee Powder instant
- 2 tbsp Walnuts chopped
- 3 tbsp Sunflower Seeds
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. This ensures the cake won't stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy milk, olive oil, organic sugar, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, rye flour, oats, sattu, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sifting aerates the dry ingredients, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, instant coffee powder (this enhances the chocolate flavor), chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and chocolate chips.
- Add the lime juice or vinegar. This reacts with the baking soda to create air bubbles, giving the cake lift.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra sunflower seeds and chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
- Enjoy this moist and delicious multigrain cake!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra boost of flavor and nutrition, toast the sunflower seeds lightly before sprinkling them on top of the batter. This enhances their crunch and brings out a nutty aroma.
- If you prefer a deeper chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients. It will intensify the cocoa without making the cake taste like coffee.
- To make this cake vegan, ensure your sattu is chickpea-based and substitute any dairy milk with oat or almond milk for a similar texture and wholesome taste.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
- A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when the cake is done.
Storage Instructions
- This cake keeps well. Wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to a month.
- Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave for a quick, nutritious snack or breakfast.
