Apple Cake with Whole Grain 7-Cereal Flour

The Apple Cake with Whole Grain 7-Cereal Flour is a breakfast cake made with oil instead of butter and sweetener instead of sugar. Although I prefer those full of flavor like the Delicious Apple Cake, I give a positive vote to this one which is a bit lighter but still good, and I eat it with less guilt. This type of flour is made with many cereals like soft wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye flour, and oat flour mixed and dried together with wheat germ, the heart of the grain to give intense flavors and aromas.
