Mondays are really busy days, and as you try juggling between tasks and shuffling your priorities, you are all the more entitled to a break, and what better way to take a break than eat a healthy and absolutely delicious cake!!! Well, I know most of you would be watching what you eat, especially on a Monday, after all the binging during the weekend, but what if I told you I have a Wheat cake that you can make in a microwave and it would take you less than 15 mins to do it!! Yup, that got you interested, right?! So check out this really simple, healthy and wholesome Eggless Wheat Spongecake recipe that was sent to me by my sister-in-law Minal. She's a mother of 2 pre-teenagers who wreak havoc day in and day out! But they love her cake, and so do I!!! I've just changed the original recipe a bit to reflect my love for chocolate and chocolate chip cookies :) (image courtesy of godiva.com)

Ingredients
2 cups Wheat Flour
1 and 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tbsp Milk powder
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
4-5 medium-sized chocolate chip cookies
1/2-1 tsp Baking Soda
1 and 1/2 cup Milk
1/2 cup White Unsalted Butter (you can use regular yellow butter too if you don't mind the salt) 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
1/2 cup grated semi-sweet chocolate

Method
Take a bowl and mix half of the milk, butter and essence properly. Seive the wheat flour, sugar, milk powder,cocoa powder and baking soda. Now add this to the milk and butter mixture and beat properly in one direction. Whisk continuously for 5-7 mins till the mixture starts to fold and form peaks. If it's too thick, add the reamaining of the milk slowly while stirring till desired consistency is achieved. Take a microwaveable dish and grease it with oil or non-stick spray. Dust it with some flour and pour the mixture into it. Bake in the microwave oven for about 8 mins, or until done. You can test this by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake and see that it comes out clean. Remove from the microwave, let it cool for some time. Meanwhile, crush the cookies in a grinder. Then garnish the cake with the crushed chocolate chip cookies and the fresh shredded chocolate. You can also use dessicated coconut shavings. They go well with chocolate too.

There, in less than 15 mins, your delicious (eggless) sponge cake is ready. Oh, and let's not forget how healthy it is too!! That's all I could wait before biting into my cake, but if you have more patience, be creative! You can use strawberries and cool whip to kick it up a notch. In any case, it's going to be delicious!
