About Ragi, Wholewheat Chocolate Cake
As Ragi is very good for health I so wanted to incorporate it in baking too apart from making ladoos & making chapatis from it. This wonderful cake when served with chocolate sauce and topped with chocolate curls, I bet no one would suspect that it's made of ragi and wholewheat flour. Other healthy ingredient which I have used in place of white sugar is organic jaggery from GUJARAT, which I got as a gift from my dear friend. You can serve this to your children as after school snack as this does not contain any maida. So enjoy this guilt free yummy cake.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 180 degree C for 10 minutes. Grease and dust the baking pan or grease and line the baking pan with parchment paper.
- Sieve together ragi flour, wheat flour, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt.
- Keep the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients ready.
- Dry ingredients -Sieved ragi flour+wheat flour+cocoa powder+baking soda+salt Wet ingredients - Yogurt+honey, jaggery,oil, milk and vanilla essence.
- Now mix the wet ingredient with the dry ingredients with whisk, until well combined. Do not overmix. If using chopped walnuts, dust it with a little flour and mix it gently with the batter.
- Pour it in a greased baking tin and tap the pan slightly so that the mixture settles evenly.
- Bake in a pre-heat oven at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once done, let it remain in the oven for 5-6 minutes. Then remove the cake tin from the oven and transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool.
Now let us prepare chocolate sauce
- Mix together milk, 4 tbsp cocoa powder and brown sugar well. Make sure that there are no lumps.
- Now cook the mixture on medium heat until it starts boiling. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and cook stirring the mixture continuously until it starts thickening and reaches a sauce like consistency.
- Turn off the heat, add butter and vanilla essence to the mixture. Stir well and let it cool completely.
- Once the cake cools completely, pour the chocolate sauce over the cake.
To make chochlate curls:
- Keep the dark chocolate outside the refrigerator. After half an hour, using a vegetable peeler, peel out chocolate curls.
- Then refrigerate the chocolate curls until it hardens. Sprinkle over the cake and enjoy!!!
Recipe Notes
You do not need an electric beater, just mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients using a wire whisk, thatโs all.
