This 'oops we don't have enough flour' recipe turned out really moist and yummy so I thought we'd share it. It also makes it healthier as we used a cup of wheatgerm. It turns out wheatgerm is a powerhouse of nutrients, it is one of the best sources of folic acid, it contains vitamin E, phosphorus, thiamine, zinc, magnesium and essential omega-3 fatty acids. It's also an excellent source of fibre.
