How to Make Whole Wheat Chocolate Blueberry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a blender, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, and 1 large egg. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving platter.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the topping:
  9. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ½ cup light whipped dessert topping (thawed) and 2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  10. Microwave on 50% power for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the chocolate topping evenly over the top.
  12. Prepare the blueberry sauce (see below).
  13. Cut the cake into squares and serve, topped with fresh blueberries and a generous drizzle of blueberry sauce.
  14. Makes 9 servings.
