Upgrade the tea-time favourite lemon loaf cake recipe with the ancient nutritious goodness of khapli wheat atta. The khapli wheat lemon loaf cake recipe, made with the ancient khapli atta, has more fibre and protein in it, with brands like Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta leading the health revolution. It also has more iron content, lower sugar and a low glycaemic index, making it a guilt-free indulgence for the health-conscious bakers. You do not need any fancy equipment to bake the khapli wheat lemon loaf cake, just a loaf tin and a mixing bowl. The batter also needs fairly simple baking ingredients, requiring just flour, sugar, yoghurt, oil, eggs and lemon. Khapli wheat tends to bake into a dense loaf, so if you are a beginner, you can substitute half of the khapli wheat atta with all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour. This lemon cake recipe replaces all-purpose flour entirely with khapli atta, making each slice richer in fibre and minerals than the conventional cake. Whether you are baking for family or meal-prepping a healthy dessert, this recipe is perfect for both. Typical of a lemon loaf cake, this cake has a lemon glaze drizzled over the cooled loaf. It is ideal as a tea-time treat, a light breakfast side, or a dessert.
