Chocolate is a mixture of cocoa and sugar, highly addictive and very calorific, depending on the level of sugar and even if it’s milk chocolate.
However, if it’s up to 70% cocoa, it can still be healthy and nutritious, and help satiate women suffering from PMS (premenstrual tension) who crave that chocolate but want to stay focused.
When you’re craving a guilt-free treat or to please that friend who’s on a diet, try making this cake. It’s super tasty and doesn’t contain any sugar or flour, but you’ll still feel like you’re eating a high-calorie cake.
