You will still enjoy the same cake, but it will be healthier. We all want that. Here are some tips on how to make your cakes more nutritious:

Easy tips to make cakes healthier

Get rid of the maid.

The main culprit in making cakes unhealthy is maida (all-purpose flour). The flour makes them softer but is not a good source of nutrients. Maida has a low protein and high GI and is processed to lose most nutrients. It would help to choose healthier whole grains like wheat (atta), oats, or almond flour.

Honey can be substituted for white sugar.

Sugar is what gives cakes their delicious taste. Unfortunately, sugar is harmful and can cause several health issues. It is possible to make your cakes healthier by substituting regular white sugar for honey. Honey is high in antioxidants, and it won’t cause you to gain weight. Use jaggery or coconut sugar instead.

Use healthier fats

Cakes need fat to be moist. Butter and oil are the most common fats we use for our recipes. Use them in moderation, as they contain a lot of fat. You can use healthy fats like yogurt, mashed bananas, or yogurt to achieve the best results.

Reduce the amount of frosting.

Once your cake is done, it can be tempting to cover it with frosting. Frosting is mostly butter and sugar, which is not the best thing to do when trying to eat healthily. You can decorate your cake using a glaze or sugar instead of buttercream frosting.

Use dark chocolate

Consider using Dark Chocolate in place of milk chocolate when baking a cake. You won’t gain extra weight because it has less sugar and more cocoa. It is also lower in fat than milk chocolate.

Add nuts and seeds.

Do not hesitate to add nuts and seeds to your cake batter. Nuts and seeds are not only nutritious, but they also add a crunch to every bite. Nuts such as cashews, almonds, or walnuts can be used. These nuts are excellent for making dry cakes.
