CHOCOLATE CAKE (healthy, non bake, 3 ingredients)

FARZANACH NUTRIIONIST & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

 

When you cook apples for 8-10 minutes, they release a compound called pectin, which is anti-inflammatory and also healing for the gut! One of my favourite gut-loving foods! And studies have found that dark chocolate (85%) has good mood benefits, and consuming some daily even showed beneficial shifts in the gut microbiome. SO the base of this dessert is a winning combination. To this add the deliciousness and healthy fats from peanut butter and fibre and polyphenol-rich raspberries, you have a delicious cake, plus one that is nourishing too

Ingredients:

300g of apples chopped into small cubes with their skin left on
200g of 85% dark chocolate
4 tablespoons Peanut butter. ( I used a dark-roasted peanut butter )
Punnet of raspberries

Directions:

Chop skinless apples into cubes, add 1/4 cup water, and boil on the flame until mashed. Add chocolate pieces to the pot until finally, though.

When it is almost fried, pour it into a blender and mash well.

I used a small cake pan and lined it with parchment paper, and then poured in 1/2 of my mixture into this. Then added 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, followed by another 1/2 of my chocolate mixture, and 2 drizzled tablespoons of peanut butter.  

When ready,  I just topped it with loads of raspberries and removed it from the container, and took out the paper.
