Eggless Fingermillet Chocolate Bundts With Sprinkles | #Bundtbakers

‘Best cake ever’! This was the reaction from my Lil Angel as soon as she polished off half the cake.Lil Dude on the other hand was more keen on finishing off his share and ask for more!Do I need to add how good these bundts were!!

The theme – Spirnkle Bundts was chosen by Terri of Love and Confections.A fun filled colorful theme!!

I could have made it even more colorful but somehow my plans went haywire and I ended up doing what I did!!

With a full knowledge of how cakes and other bakes tend to disappear, I wanted to add a dose of health while trying to keep the context intact.

So this cake has whole wheat flour, finger millet/Ragi as it is know around here. To add to the fun factor, I added cocoa powder so that the kids will assume its chocolate and there will be no complaints and since I ran out of brown sugar, I used the regular sugar. I am still wishing I added brown sugar in this recipe.

Anyway, this cake came out so well that the mini bundts were gone even before the large bundt was out of the oven.The kids could hardly wait for me to click and I didn’t have the mind to make them wait for too long. So gave them a few first and started clicking with what was left and after the photo shoot, passed on the plate to the kids.

I had a small doubt if the cake would be dense but it was not so. But it was not too light and airy. It was kids approved so I can tell you that the texture and taste was good!!!

Now on to the recipe.
