        Ok now coming to the recipe, i came across this Ragi Chocolate Cake in Lite Bite when i was googling for Ragi bakes. I tried this recipe with whole wheat flour and the result was super and tasted so good. But becuase ot whole wheat flour,the liquid ingredients which mentioned was not enough then i added 1 cup of hot water to the cake mix and baked them bravely. To my surprise it turned out so soft n delicious. And also instead of cinnamon i added Instant coffee powder that was also a Hit. Later i thought,if we add the coffee powder to the hot water n then pour the black coffee to the cake mix to get real n more coffee flavor. So next time will try n update the result. Now to the recipe...
