Eggless Orange Chocolate Ragi Cake - try a guilt-free version of an indulgent chocolate cake made with healthy, fiber-rich ragi (finger millets). Enjoy the deep, rich chocolatey flavor and bursts of refreshing citrus for a pop of sweetness in your life!
- 1 cup ragi (finger millet) flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup milk powder
- 1/2 cup olive oil , or any neutral oil
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar , or regular sugar
- 1 cup orange juice , fresh
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips , or grated dark chocolate
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips , or grated dark chocolate
- 1/2 tbsp butter , or coconut oil
- fresh fruits , of your choice
- orange zest
- pistachio , slivered
- sprinkles , golden or silver
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
-
Sieve the dry ingredients (ragi flour, all purpose flour, milk powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt) into a large mixing bowl. This will aerate the mixture, making the cake fluffy.
-
In another bowl, take olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, yogurt, and vanilla essence and mix them thoroughly.
-
Now, slowly start adding in the dry ingredients and fold them in gently, using a cut and fold technique.
-
In the end, add the chocolate chips and mix them gently.
-
Now, grease a 9½ inch bundt pan with oil and pour the batter in it.
-
Put the cake in the oven and bake it on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes (depending on the oven). To test if the cake is done, insert a knife or a small skewer and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
-
Take the cake out and let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
Now, remove the cake from the mold and let it sit on the cooling rack for at least 1 hour until it cools down completely. It's important to make sure that it's fully cooled down before applying the ganache.
-
Heat the cream on medium heat until you see bubbles around the edges.
-
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and mix until it forms a smooth mixture.
-
Let it cool for 10 minutes.
-
Once the cake has cooled down completely, pour the ganache on the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
-
Garnish with some fresh fruits, orange zest, pistachios and sprinkles. Enjoy!

Amazing Recipe
Hi can I substitute APF with whole wheat flour to make it more healthier
Yes you can but the cake will be more dense as both are heavy flour.
Any alternative to APF
