Honey Cake using whole wheat and Cottage cheese (paneer)

Honey Cake

About:

Love panner….Enjoy this guilt free cake. A delicious cake which is made using cottage cheese, honey. This cake is eggless, free from added sugar and oil…

Saturated fat present in full fat cottage cheese can increase blood cholesterol, so you don’t have to worry about unhealthy fats when you choose low fat/fat-free cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is healthy to eat as a part of balanced diet, and provide essential nutrients, it is rich in proteins.

So enjoy this dessert as a part of balanced diet.
