Happy Birthday Chocolate Cake Health


Unlike most of indulgences in the birthday cake will not make you almost guilty in the morning. I will not say it's the healthiest thing since sliced bread, whole grain sprouted because it contains sugar, but contains less than half of what is in most cake (do not worry, it always sweet thanks for the pureed prunes). Really, it is actually healthier than your average birthday cake. For most cakes, I can not find two more healthy "food" ingredients (if!)-It was three times more!

The Happy Birthday Cake healthy chocolate has the following: "Organic" ingredients:

Prunes
Wheat flour (I use "white" whole wheat, because it is lighter than regular whole wheat flour texture, but still has all the same nutritional value all-fiber, seed nutrients, etc.)
unsweetened cocoa
Organic eggs from free-range
Apples
Pecans
Extra virgin coconut oil

I must admit, candy (and wine) are really my two biggest vices, but I found that the addition of my candy for the health "whole food" ingredients (like nuts, fruits, whole wheat flour products, etc.) I can help compensate for the damage. Plus I'm still limited to one sweet treat a day (and I am careful to buy read the ingredients for the food I eat and no hidden sugars throughout the day). I did not understand what I Wine with Spike, perhaps I could with some Greens powder run =)

Anyway, here is our family health cake recipe down (if you serve the cake for the children do not have the Bailey's Irish Cream worry, it's not enough to make one part of a difference).

04:03 cup water
1 tablespoon + 1 tablespoon good quality tea instant coffee
04:03 cup dark chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli)
30 pitted prunes

Cook gently for 1 minute to soften prunes. Add oil. Remove pan from oven and set the mixture aside to cool.
3. Place eggs in a blender and process for 1 minute or until pale yellow and fluffy. Add vanilla and chocolate-prune mixture; process one minute or until the plums are completely pureed.
4. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and cocoa. Add the egg mixture and mix. Stir in the chopped apples and pecans. Pour batter into prepared pans.
5.
Bake in center of oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Remove pie from the oven to run a knife around the inside edge and cool. Set cake on a rack and let cool for at least 2 hours before icing.
