Let’s look at the main Ingredients!
Wholewheat Flour
Wholewheat flour is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to refined flour. It makes the cake more filling, adds a nutty flavor, and keeps it moist while giving a healthier twist.
Dates
Dates are a natural sweetener loaded with fiber, iron, potassium, and antioxidants. They add natural sweetness to the cake, making it moist and rich without the need for refined sugar.
Walnuts
Walnuts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and healthy fats. In this recipe, they add crunch and richness to the crumble topping while boosting nutrition.
Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves
These warm spices not only enhance the flavour of the cake but are also known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They add depth and a festive aroma to the cake.
Yogurt
Yogurt adds moisture, tenderness, and a slight tang to the cake while helping it rise without eggs. It’s a great natural alternative in eggless baking.
Ghee
Ghee adds richness and a buttery flavor, while also being easier to digest than many other fats. It gives both the cake and crumble their soft yet indulgent texture.
Milk
Milk helps bring the batter together into a smooth consistency. It keeps the cake moist and enhances the overall texture.
