Wheat chocolate cake with apple topping

Made these wheat flour dark chocolate cake to satisfy the family's chocolate craving. It was yum and never felt that I've not used maida (all purpose flour). Added a little instant coffee to bring out the dark colour. The apple topping also came out well and seemed best when served warm on cake.
