Amaranth Chocolate Cake is an eggless cake using a mix of all-purpose flour and amaranth flour. It is topped with Spiced Pear in white wine.

I am here with the Amaranth Chocolate Cake recipe which I promised in last week’s post.

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of Gluten Free recipes using Amaranth Flour. Though we have no medical reason to follow a gluten or whole-grain diet V has started avoiding Refined (all-purpose) flour with a vengeance.

So I have slowly started moving towards whole grain including Whole Wheat & Amaranth, especially in Baking.

I must say it was my first trial at using Amaranth & I loved it. I would be incorporating more of it in my baking now.

The taste was rich, soft & just perfect sweetness. I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup as we prefer less sweet and I was going to top it with spiced pear in white wine.
