double chocolate triple sec cake
(2 ratings)
This is a concoction of mine that was featured a few years ago in the "Eat to Beat Diabetes" section of Healthy Cooking magazine. I created the recipe because I like to reduce (or substitute) sugar as much as I can when baking. And I like to combine ground oatmeal with flour to add a little fiber and make the dessert a bit healthier. And really, who doesn't love the combo of chocolate and orange, even if it is healthy?
