Chocolate Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting, I recently came across a notebook of recipes from the 1950s which belonged to my grandmother Her indulgent chocolate cake recipe included spices and dry fruit, ingredients which I feel are best suited to a winter cake, so I decided to adapt it to my taste and skip those altogether This yummy cake is so chocolaty and creamy I love chocolate and everything that has cocoa in it Chocolate is uplifting and it’s good to know that according to medical researchers, if eaten in moderation, dark chocolate – and cocoa in general – (maybe not milk chocolate, since it’s full of fat), is a powerful antioxidant and therefore acts as an anti-ageing and also helps to lower cholesterol , I recently came across a notebook of recipes from the 1950s which belonged to my grandmother Her indulgent chocolate cake recipe included spices and dry fruit, ingredients which I feel are best suited to a winter cake, so I decided to adapt it to my taste and skip those altogether This yummy cake is so chocolaty and creamy I love chocolate and everything that has cocoa in it Chocolate is uplifting and it’s good to know that according to medical researchers, if eaten in moderation, dark chocolate – and cocoa in general – (maybe not milk chocolate, since it’s full of fat), is a powerful antioxidant and therefore acts as an anti-ageing and also helps to lower cholesterol
