Whole wheat strawberry cake is tasty and naturally healthy. It has no butter, sugar or egg in it. Strawberries give a good taste to this bake.
When it’s raining strawberries, you need to bake at least once isn’t it ? Life is good living and enjoying each moment. Baking is therapeutic and helps to relax the senses.
Today, it’s a healthy bake with strawberry. Let us see what ingredients are used to make it healthier and the other options that you have here:
- Wheat flour: Atta or wheat flour is naturally healthy and better than all purpose flour.
- Corn flour: As cakes made with corn flour turn out dense, a little corn flour is added. Do not skip on sieving the flour.
- Honey : As I thought of baking a healthy cake, I have used honey here. Castor sugar or brown sugar may be used.
- Curd : It is the replacement for egg.
- Baking powder and baking soda : They are the essentials of baking.
- Milk : Milk is added to get the right consistency of the batter.
- Strawberries: Use fresh strawberries.
The other healthy bakes shared earlier are baked wheat crackers, mocha banana cake,
The other strawberry recipes shared earlier : Strawberry Mojito, Strawberry Yoghurt, Strawberry Chia Souffle, Strawberry Jam. Children will surely love the jam and yoghurt.
