I finally got around to making the Dark and Delicious Chocolate Velvet
cake from the 2013 Milk Calendar. It was a big hit with us all. It's nutritious and contains one large beet and uses cocoa powder, all good stuff. The recipe makes 8 servings at 281 calories per serving. It's cake after all. My picture is half a serving.
I've been learning that low fat food products are not necessarily better for you. A lot of these products replace fat with sugar, for example in light peanut butter. So you are better off buying real peanut butter and eating a couple of tablespoons of it. It will make you feel more satisfied. Did you know that?
No, I didn't. You just never know. I try to be healthy but I'm never sure is it's the right thing. That cake looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks delicious and sounds so good. Everything that is not natural is not good. If we want to reduce anything, reduce the quantity. All those lower or no something, they have to add in chemicals to reduce or remove and like you said, we would take more when it is not satisfying.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks gorgeous! And peanut butter - one of my fave foods, but it has to be the real thing. The light products do not taste the same! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm finding as I retool my diet and eat more "whole" foods my cravings aren't as severe. Even for chocolate!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am having a cup of coffee right now, and your piece of cake would be perfect with it :-)
ReplyDeletelooks good
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine a cake containing beets! Whoa! As for reduced fat in products like peanut butter, I have to agree. I love regular peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so tasty. I kind of wish I did not see it, because now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteThis post is certainly informative! More so, I am into dark chocolates these days thus, your entry is a big hit to me too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the week and thank you for always finding time to visit my blog, Ms Christine!
