Gur atta cake

Wheat and jaggery cake which i tried recently is very tasty and healthy cake. Jaggery is healthier option than sugar as it is made from unrefined sugar. This cake is especially for my mothe-in -law who never eats cake. This is the first time she tried cake as it is made from healthy ingredients.
