Cakes are one of the most popular desserts around the world. They are a must-have for special occasions, parties and gatherings. But, not all cakes are equally healthy. Cakes made with white flour can be high in calories and low in nutrition. Wholemeal flour is a healthier alternative that is rich in fiber and other essential nutrients. Here are a few delicious and healthy cake recipes that use wholemeal flour.

Banana Wholemeal Cake

Ingredients

This recipe makes one 8-inch cake.

  • 2 cups wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch cake pan.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Mix in the mashed bananas. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

This cake is a great way to get some extra nutrition into your diet. Wholemeal flour is rich in dietary fiber, which helps to support digestion and lower cholesterol levels. It also contains B vitamins, which are essential for healthy metabolism. The bananas in the cake are a good source of potassium, which is important for maintaining healthy blood pressure. The butter and sugar in the cake will add a bit of fat and calories, so enjoy in moderation.

Wholemeal Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

This recipe makes one 9-inch cake.

  • 2 cups wholemeal flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • Mix in the cocoa powder until combined. Gradually add the boiling water and mix until smooth.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

This chocolate cake is a healthier alternative to regular chocolate cake. Wholemeal flour has more fiber, vitamins and minerals than white flour, and the cocoa powder adds some extra antioxidants. The butter and sugar will still add some fat and calories, so enjoy in moderation.
