Jowar or Sorghum Cake is vegan and can also be made Gluten free by just excluding the baking Powder. It is one of the healthiest and deliciously guilt-free cakes you can find.
I know I have been away from this blog for a long time now. As much as I love cooking, I haven't been able to be very active because of some personal reasons. I am hoping to be as regular as I can from now on...
Here's a recipe of a Cake that has no maida, no sugar, no eggs or butter and in case you are wondering how on earth a cake can taste good without all the ingredients that make it tasty, I assure you that it is not only healthy but very tasty too!

** You can use any millet flour and make this cake.
** If you are not a vegan, do use eggs in place of flax gel.
** Be careful while handling the cake. Since this is almost Gluten-free, it tends to break if you tried to move it around too much.
