About this recipe

Description

Have your cake and eat it, too! Some simple substitutions can take a cake from loaded with luxuries to a lighter form of satisfaction. Our Better for You Chocolate Cake baking kit uses substitutes like oat flour, Greek yogurt, apple sauce, and maple syrup to give you the chocolatey indulgence you crave without the heavy ingredients. Go on, enjoy a slice (or two)!

But it’s not just about baking; it’s a journey of discovery. Learn about the origins of chocolate with a closer look at cacao trees, nestled near the Equator, and experience traditional methods by grinding oats into flour, mimicking past baking practices.

Unravel the fascinating process from cacao seed to chocolate bar, appreciating the intricate steps involved in creating the chocolate we cherish. Embark on a taste test to explore the rich spectrum of chocolate flavors, from milk to dark and beyond, offering a delicious way to understand chocolate's diverse character.

This kit is your passport to not only a healthier cake but a deeper appreciation for chocolate's journey through history, culture, and taste.
