    Notes :

    • If the final mixture is too thick after adding wheat ragi flour mix, add a few tbsp of milk to get the desired consistency.
    • Preparing and adding chocolate sauce is optional for this cake, but enhances the taste!
    • Don't over mix after adding the dry ingredients, just fold them for 10-15 seconds.
    • This ragi chocolate cake stays well for four days at room temperature and keeps good for a week if stored in a refrigerator.
    • You could use any nuts of your choice instead of chocolate chips.
    • Mixing and measurements are most important for the perfect cake.

      HI Kalyani,

      can we use organic powdered jaggery instead of brown sugar for the cookies and cakes receipes here. And also is jaggery better than brown sugar?

      Thank you.

      Thanks a lot Kalyani, it came out amazing. My family loved it. My 3 year old boy even enjoyed making and decorating it.

      Really appreciate you sharing your recipe.

      Just a little extra sugar in the sauce for our pallet. This recipe is added to my regular list ?

      Hello mam, tried the recipe.. taste is really good.. but the cake is a little dry and slightly crumbly. What might have gone wrong?

        there may be many reasons: overmixed batter, too much flour, not enough sugar,etc
