ABOUT Eggless butterless cornmeal chocolate cake RECIPE

Unlike wheat flour cornmeal does not contain gluten. Eating cornmeal provides a source of essential nutrients, it helps in boosting iron intake and it contains dietary fiber. I tried to replace regular wheat flour with corn meal in eggless chocolate cake and the results were awesome and tasty.
