Chocolate oatmeal cake with step by step pictures. Delicious and soft oatmeal cake with chocolate taste delicious.
Chocolate Oatmeal Cake Recipe
I had this cake on mind for quite a long time. I wanted to make a plain oats cake with no icing or nothing which can be served with tea, milk or coffee. Finally i created this recipe few days back and it worked so well.
About this Recipe
Whole wheat oats are oats that have not been ground down or refined to remove two-thirds of each seed. Steel cut, rolled oats and grains that are still in;seed; form are all whole grain oats, which means the bran, endosperm, and germ of each oat is still intact. Refined oats typically only contain the endosperm, which does not provide as many nutritional benefits as the other two parts. Whole grain oats include barley, rye, and oatmeal, which can be used in a variety of recipes and cooking methods. Eggless cakes, such as banana cake, truffle cake, or even a decadent, eggless chocolate
cake, are just as tasty as those with eggs. As a result of this reality, baking eggless cakes takes longer. To make a good eggless cake recipe, a variety of ingredients must be used in place of eggs.
This cake has very few ingredients which you already have on hand. I used atta in this recipe and it was so good. The oats added nice texture to the cake and the cocoa powder added a nice chocolaty taste.
Ingredients For Chocolate Oatmeal Cake
Wheat Flour :
It has a lighter colour and a milder flavour, but it still provides all of the whole grain benefits because the bran, germ, and endosperm are all preserved. As a result, white whole wheat flour is an excellent ingredient for whole grain baking, including breads, pastries, and everything in between.
Jaggery :
It's a healthier natural alternative to refined sugar that tastes just as good. Though it has an earthy flavour, you won't notice it in the cake.
Cocoa Powder :
Cocoa powder is primarily used as a flavouring agent in baked goods such as cookies, ice cream, dairy drinks, and cakes. Aside from flavouring, it is also used in the production of coatings for confectioners or frozen desserts. Cocoa powder is also used in the beverage industry, for example, to make chocolate milk.
I made this cake plain and simple with just water as the wet ingredients. That addition of water made this cake so moist and soft. I have another version of oats cake which has egg in it, will share it soon. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Hi Arthi,
Loved this quick and easy healthy cake recipe. I made it as per the exact measurements given. It came out well and very delicious too. Only problem was I was unable to cut it into cake slices. It was getting powdered. I had to consume it like steamed rice.
I poured only 1 cup of water which itself was giving a loose consistency. Hence did not u rest of the 1/4 cup water.
