Whole Wheat Cake Recipe
Whole Wheat Cake Recipe calls for three types of whole wheat flour with some almond flour folded into coconut oil and butter creamed with date sugar. This recipe showcases a whole wheat flour cake at its finest with a sweet nutty taste. To take this cake to the next level, I sandwiched the two layers with a decadent chocolate-date spread and garnished it with date sugar granules. This cake has a deep rich wheat color with golden edges and a satisfying vanilla aftertaste!
Equipment
- stand mixer, oven
Ingredients
- 2 oz coconut oil
- 2 oz unsalted butter
- 6 oz Date Lady date sugar sifted
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 oz almond flour
- 2 oz white whole wheat flour
- 1 oz red whole wheat bread flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup reduced fat milk
- ¼ cup walnut chopped
- 3 tbsp Date Lady chocolate spread for the filling
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients.Sift the flour with the salt and baking powder. Sift the date sugar and reserve the residual granules for dredging the top of the cake.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to cream the coconut oil and butter with the sifted date sugar until light. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well.
- Add the vanilla essence and turn to 'stir' mode. Fold in the white whole wheat flour, almond flour and the red whole wheat flour (sifted with salt and baking powder) a little at a time. Alternate the flour with the milk while folding it. Add the chopped walnuts and combine.
- Line two 8" round cake pans and pour or scoop half the batter into each pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 18-20 minutes or until cake skewer or toothpick comes out clean in the center. Ease the edges of the cake and invert them on wire racks. Let the cake cool for 5 minutes.
- When the cake is slightly warm, spread the Date Lady chocolate spread on top and place the other cake layer on top.
- Dredge the cake with the date sugar residual granules and pipe some of the chocolate spread to hold walnut halves for decoration. Serve the cake slice with tea, coffee or milk.

Notes
- If doubling the quantity of the cake, use four cake pans to make a four-layered cake or increase the baking time if using two pans.
