Vegan Chocolate Cake


Hi all ! i admitted many times that i have giannnnnt sweet tooth..n i mean it ! similarly i told this too that m on path of healthy lifestyle..(n its working amazingly). So no sugar dunk food !! lately i was missing my cakes more then anything ! n as they say,,'where there's will,there's way !' i finally came up with the cake base which have all good things that u can hv it with out any damn guilt !! (yea m serious  !)
Recently i discovered very basic ingredients which can b used as replacement of our usual things.one of them is sweet potato.Sweet potato is good carbohydrate source like potato but with far more fiber...after some research i finally came to know that its puree can be use as replacement of pumpkin puree ! now a days i use it instead of potatoes in kabobs or binding agent.


I as trying to incorporate it in dessert lately,even succeeded in few which i ll share real soon.Now lets come to our title cake which is chocolate cake.it has all healthy things but yet so sinfully delicious that you ll forget the buttery n heavy cakes...its really moist(coz of sweet potato puree),light n brownie like crumbly that no one ll believe that it whole wheat cake !
Next time i am going to make this fresh n gonna have it hot with some icecream  ...
