Chocolate Cum Plain Cake

  

This is my second cake recipe. According to my knowledge I got good experience in making of egg less sponge cake. Actually I like to eat cake but I don't prefer to eat due to high calorie.        I wanted to make healthy cake. Then Normal sponge cake is changed into healthy cake with some modifications. Here, I use Multi grain flour(Wheat,Jowar,Ragi,Soya) Instead of all purpose flour (Maida). Maida is processed flour it doesn't have any nutritional values. It is good to use in small quantities in making recipes. Here I decorate the cake in Mobile phone shape. Actually my husband likes gadgets very much that is why I got this idea.
