This ragi cake is very chocolaty, light and simple to make. It is not only a healthy cake but also tasty as ragi with cinnamon gives a nice flavour to the dish. Using only ragi will make the cake very dense, so all purpose flour is also used along with it. Ragi is one of the best natural protein sources. The high amount of dietary fiber combine keeps the stomach full for a longer time and prevents unwanted craving. Cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory properties, protects heart health, fight diabetes, infections and viruses.
