Happy 2016 to all viewers,

A brand new year begins with good thoughts and nice expectations....Let's start with a cake recipe. Blueberry and ginger combination along with whole wheat.Now a days i'm using more whole wheat than all purpose flour only because of health issues..Try this recipe for kids and adults as well as a tea time snack or for break fast needs.Its super easy and can baked perfectly.
Also blue berry is rich in anti oxidants and multi grain flour has high health benefits than normal flour.
