Chocolaty Chocolate Cake Recipe
Chocolate is a woman’s secret indulgence. It can make any stressful day better. I created this chocolate cake recipe many years ago and it has become a family favorite! Each year I make this recipe times two for my daughter’s birthday party and it is always the first cake that disappears! Now whenever I have a party everyone is always looking forward to my chocolaty chocolate cake. The main reason everyone loves it is because it’s as healthy as a great tasting chocolate cake can be! With Olive Oil (Trust me you don’t taste it at all) and sea salt along with the organic milk, at least you’ll know that you’re not hurting yourself. Try it once and you’ll be hooked, just make sure you have plenty of milk to wash it down.
What makes our Chocolate Cake Recipe healthier for you than other chocolate cakes?
We use Olive oil instead of shortening or vegetable oil. Olive oil is packed full of antioxidants and mono-unsaturated fats and is generally thought of to be one of the most heart-healthy choices. Olive oil is shown to increase good cholesterol levels while decreasing the bad cholesterol levels in our bodies, and helping to prevent against heart disease and certain types of cancer. Additionally, olive oil works to promote the secretion of bile from the pancreas.
