If you are worried that making a flourless chocolate cake is difficult and that you won''t be able to cope with it, rest assured that any worries you may have are completely unnecessary, as it is no more difficult to make than a regular chocolate cake. The only difference is in the ingredients, which means you won''t be deprived of a harmony of delicious flavours. After all, the essence of chocolate cake is chocolate, not flour. And if you make it with quality ingredients, you don''t even have to feel guilty!
Another interesting fact that will especially delight those who like to start a new day with chocolate. Researchers at Syracuse University in New York have discovered that chocolate, if consumed regularly, has many positive effects on our health, improving our cognitive abilities, memory and abstract thinking. Tel Aviv University even found that those who eat a piece of chocolate cake every morning are more motivated at work and even lose weight more easily - especially if the cake is flour-free.
It may sound unbelievable, but there is some truth in it. Our brains need a lot of energy during the day, from the moment we wake up. Because the body processes food and energy more efficiently in the early morning, a piece of chocolate cake can help the brain to be energised more effectively. And because metabolism is faster in the morning than later in the day, there''s less chance of unpleasant fatty deposits.
