This Watermelon Cake Recipe is deliciously divine. Watermelon is one of my favorites. This no egg, no flour and no sugar based cake is very unique. The recipe uses jaggery instead of sugar and semolina or rava instead of flour. Most international markets sell jaggery powder. Nuts are optional but they do add a nice bite to the cake. I prefer cashew nuts, however you may opt for any nuts of your choice. 

If you like this recipe, you may explore my  jackfruit dhondas recipe. Typically eaten as breakfast, the watermelon cake is also a healthy snack. Jaggery adds some minerals and vitamins to the dish. And the pink color from watermelon makes it very tempting. Semolina or rava used instead of the traditional all-purpose flours provides a good texture to the cake. A small amount of ghee replaces unsalted butter.The alternate ingredients used in the recipe, makes this cake surely a healthy breakfast option or even a snack or a side desert. Explore this Watermelon Cake Recipe and make the cake a day in advance for a nice lazy weekend breakfast or a tea-time snack.
