Wheat watermelon rind cake

Whole wheat watermelon rind cake

By Kanchan Gupta

Hello folks, i have a story. A story of watermelon, a story of watermelon rind. Usually maximum people throw the watermelon peel after having watermelon flesh, i was also one of them.

Once upon a time my husband was cutting the watermelon, he put the watermelon flesh in a box and left the peel on the table with the thought that whenever i get free i will throw it in trash box, i always read my husband's mind hahahahahaha🤣

When i saw the watermelon peels i thought why not make something out of it. Immediately i took those peels and headed towards my kitchen (my battlefield). I fought with them with the help of my knife, while fighting i thought a lot about what to do with them, oh! yes then a moment came when i got an idea sir ji😍.  I planned to make two dishes out of the peels. 

I have a passion for baking so the baker inside me started bouncing and coming out and said listen to me too plz plz .....i could not keep up and listened to it. I planned everything and i wrote the recipes, out of them one is whole wheat watermelon rind cake whose recipe is in this page and the other recipe i will tell you in next story. Then i shared these recipes with my husband and as usual his answer was, you must try...... it would be nice😘.

# You just need to beat sugar, coffee and water only.

# You can use mix dry fruits, roasted almond, raisins, any sprinkles.

# My personal experience says that choco chips are damn yum combination with it.

# Mixture should not be much watery or thick.

# If you do not have butter paper or parchment paper in that case you can grease the mould with oil or butter then dust the mould with flour.
