With the increase in new life-threatening diseases, people are more health conscious than ever. Every minute, their choices regarding food and desserts is changing. They are making small steps toward a healthier lifestyle. This has led to the baking industry looking for healthy alternatives to unhealthy ingredients. Bakers around the globe came up with the idea to replace refined flour in cakes with whole wheat flour.
