This cake is made with whole wheat flour, egg whites and no white refined sugar that actually looks and tastes amazing?

Can it be real?? YES and yes again!

You can’t have a birthday without having cake at least in my opinion anyway. Recently, two days after Thanksgiving to be exact,  I celebrate mine and this is what I made!

And.It,Was.Incredible.

No one could tell it was made with healthier ingredients. It certainly didn’t lack in fudgy chocolatey taste!

There are a few steps to making this awesome healthy cake but well worth your time!

You start by making these little incredible cookie dough bites that you can sneak a taste if you like since they have no eggs in them!

After they freeze for about 15 minutes you plop them in your cake batter and then bake! Quite simple really.

Once cooled a bit you add some delicious chocolate syrup on top! A little Indulgence is needed for birthdays don’t you think?
