Isn’t it so satisfying when you put that cake batter into the oven and wait for your delicious recipe to come to life? Just the thought of a freshly baked creamy cake makes our mouth water!

The world is gradually moving towards a healthier lifestyle and we aren’t going to fall short when it comes to healthy baking. Healthy baking doesn’t have to make your cake any less delicious or tempting. Healthy baking is not just about cutting down on the count of calories consumed but is also about making cakes nutrient-dense. Including healthy fats, high fibre and more protein-rich ingredients work a long way in achieving a tasty and colourful cake or a cookie that not only satisfies your cravings but also keeps you healthy!

We partnered with baking experts from Baking Bonheur to bring to you some really tasty cake recipes that will not let your diet get hampered in any way! Since baked foods have high levels of saturated fats and refined sugars, Baking Bonheur works on making the cakes and cookies more nutritious by keeping careful control over the ingredients and their proportions in the recipes! With a few tweaks and successfully experimented recipes, these baked goods can be enjoyed more often as a part of your balanced diet.
