What makes this chocolate cake vegan?

This chocolate cake is vegan because it uses oil, vinegar, and baking soda as leavening agents and for moisture, eliminating the need for eggs or dairy.

Can I use a different type of flour instead of finger millet flour?

While the recipe specifically calls for finger millet flour for its unique texture and flavor, you could experiment with other gluten-free flours, though the final result may vary.

What kind of pan can I use if I don't have a bundt pan?

If you don't have an 8-cup bundt pan, you can bake this cake in two 8-inch round cake pans or one large 9-inch round cake pan instead.

How do I know when the Chocolate Millet Cake is fully baked?

The cake is fully baked when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean after 40-45 minutes in a 360 degreesF oven.

How should I store leftover Chocolate Millet Cake?

Once completely cooled on a wire rack, store the chocolate millet cake in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerate to extend its freshness.

Mix well to get a lump-free batter.
Pour into the prepared bundt pan.
