Chocolate wheat cake is another variation of a chocolate cake. Maida is replaced with wheat & eggs are used to make the cake super light & fluffy. It does not require prior preparation & bakes within no time. Decided to bake one on my daughter's demand. Absolutely favorite with kids. It makes perfect snack for kids tiffin too.

Some ovens make take longer time. Prick with a fork & see if it comes out clean. If the fork comes out clean, the cake is baked. Else bake it for some more time. When the aroma of cakes start coming out, it gives an idea that the baking is nearing completion.
When baked completely, let it rest till it cools down. Demold it carefully .
