If you are okay with using APF and sugar you can replace it with whole wheat flour and brown sugar. If you do not have choco chips no need to worry just replace it with nuts. I added strawberry paste in batter which gives nice flavor to cake. I spread dates, nuts and choco chips as one layer instead of mixing them in batter this gave good even crunchy taste while eating every piece of cake 😋.

This is perfect cake for christmas, birthdays, new year and for any special occasions at home. So surely try this healthy, delectable and tasty cake at home easily and enjoy your special days with your family members.

Tips

** Remember to preheat kadai for 15 min on medium flames, so that cake will cook on time. 

** instead of wheat flour, brown sugar you can use maida and sugar.

** Add nuts of your choice make sure to dust it some flour so that it wont sink in batter.

** Do not fill the mould completely only 3/t4h of mould is used to add batter, as it will become fluffy while baking.

** If you are using pressure cooker then make sure to remove cookers whistle and gasket.(below pic is my Rava chocolate cake small portion of batter i baked in pressure cooker).

           

** Do not heat kadai/ cooker too long time or on high flames as cake will become hard.

** Do not be panic if you are cake is ready after 40 minute, just bake it for some more time by increasing its flame very bit.

** Adding cinnamon powder is optional but it gives very nice aroma to cake. You can also skip adding cinnamon powder.

** Do not open lid in middle while baking as you do not get fluffy cake.

** You fresh and thick curd.
