I really love anything chocolatey and was ready to bake my butterless moist chocolate cake.

As always, nothing goes as per plan! There was no plain flour in my pantry. So I thought it was the right time to bake a whole wheat cake.

I have always been wary of baking cakes with whole wheat flour as they tend to taste not so good as the all-purpose flour cakes. But surprise, surprise..this whole wheat cake turned out delicious.

I really loved the marble effect in the cake. A really yummy cake, a bit healthier than the all-purpose flour cake.

    Whole wheat is a must for its health factor. I experiment more than bake ? so I bloomed the cocoa along with 1/4 tsp ground coffee with the 2 T Hot water in the recipe. And thought to sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top just because I had them. The cake turned out great. The sugar measurement is just the right amount of nonsweetness. It also tasted better the day after, out of the fridge.
