Instructions
- To prepare Eggless Whole Wheat Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting Recipe, preheat Oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a medium size mixing bowl
- Mix curd and oil in another large bowl and whisk to form a homogenous mixture
- Add sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon powder
- Mix well with a spatula till it forms a smooth creamy mixture
- Now add the flour in batches into the creamed mixture
- Continuously stir, scraping the sides and mix, till the flour is completely folded into the mixture before adding the next batch of flour
- I added the flour in 5 batches
- Make sure that the mixture is lump free
- Once all the flour is incorporated into the cake batter, add water (I used a little less than one cup) slowly into the mixture to bring it to the dripping consistency
- Add and fold in the chopped walnuts in the cake batter
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the cake is cooked
- Insert a toothpick into the cake at 2-3 places and if it comes out clean, then the cake is cooked
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan
- In the meantime, prepare the chocolate buttercream frosting
- Add butter and sugar in a saucepan
- Cook on low medium heat till the butter melts and the sugar dissolves
- Turn off the heat
- Now add the cocoa powder and the milk into the Saucepan
- Stir and whisk continuously till you get a smooth and slightly thickened frosting
- While the cake is still warm, spread the buttercream frosting over the top of the cake
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours for the frosting to set
