I love Chocolate but I especially love Cocoa. Did you know, to make 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of chocolate, about 300 to 600 beans are processed, depending on the desired cocoa content. In general, chocolate and cocoa is considered to be a rich source of antioxidants such as procyanidins and flavanoids, which may impart anti aging properties. Chocolate and cocoa also contain a high level of flavonoids, specifically epicatechin, which may have beneficial cardiovascular effects on health. So with that in mind, I intend to eat my quota!
The picture on the cover is, Easy Chocolate Orange Cake and was graciously shared by JAP member Lynnda Cloutier and can be found in the Cake section of this book.
Tammy,
Thank you for sharing!!!! Every thing sounds so yummy. I cannot wait to try thy chocolate/strawberry cake. Im sure it will taste truly decadent I love the combined taste of chocolate and strawberries.
Thank you Carol for those yummy and cute brownies! They would be great for a pot luck or get together! Can't wait to try them! Thank you for the kind words too! :)
I look forward to making this Linda. Work has me working 6 days a week until Jan. I do get 5 days off for Thanksgiving and 7 days off for Christmas. So time is limited right now but I think by looking at it that it is going to be delicious! One of my favorite kind of cake. I've never made a Black Forest Cake before so this will be the one I do! :) Your a sweet sister!
Tammy, you are welcome! I hope you find some time to make it soon too! I will admit its a lot of work, but the end results are amazing! I try to make it at least once a year for my brother's birthday. Its his favorite cake!
