What is a Wholemeal Chocolate Cake?
This recipe was born in the Seventies when there was a sudden surge of partiality for all things healthy and ‘whole’. The problem was, ‘whole’ sometimes meant heavy. Not so with this one, though, as the wholemeal flour gives an extra special moistness to the cake.
In addition, you can also try making this cake using our amazing range of Natural Flavoured Cocoa Powders! If you would like to check our full range of Natural Flavoured Icing Sugars and Cocoa Powders click here.
