For the love of chocolate cakes

By Jenna

Chocolate cakes are probably the favorite desserts of a lot of people especially those who love the taste of chocolates. This can be proven by the thousands of chocolate cake recipes that can be found online with just a simple Google search and you are all set to making your own home made chocolate cake.

The reason chocolate cakes are so favored is mainly it is a combination of fluffy cake and the rich aroma and flavors of cocoa. Even when we talk about chocolate cakes, there are a lot of different chocolate cakes one could make. There are several types of flourless chocolate cakes and maybe even hundreds of moist dark chocolate cakes. If you are on a diet, you can even indulge in some healthy version chocolate cakes that are low in calories and low fat.

Chocolate cakes are the best choice for any special occasion, be it a wedding, an anniversary or simply a gathering of friends. Nothing can go wrong with a nice, delicious slice of rich, tasty chocolate cake. Of course some people will say that cheese cakes are just as good but then this article is about chocolate cakes, so cheese cakes will be discussed in another article. To bake a chocolate cake is pretty simple because its recipe only contains chocolate, sugar, flour, eggs and butter. If you crave for thicker cakes, then leave out the flour and it will result in a dense and rich chocolate cake.

For a birthday celebration, a chocolate-covered moist chocolate cake made with Belgian chocolate has to be the ultimate treat especially if the birthday boy or girl absolutely loves chocolate. Of course, not everyone loves chocolate cakes. There are people who would avoid anything to do with chocolate because they hated the taste. And there are those who thought chocolate is the incarnation of diet-spoilers so they avoided it for a slimmer waistline.

Most people have the misconception that chocolates are bad for health but in actual fact, the high quality dark chocolate are good for health when consumed moderately. There are research which proved that dark chocolate is beneficial for cardiovascular health. Still, this does not mean that all chocolate cakes are healthy because cakes contain other ingredients like sugar, eggs and butter.

If you want to have a piece of chocolate cake but are worried about the calorie-count or its healthiness, then make your own healthy low calorie cake. There are quite a lot of healthy and low calorie chocolate cake recipes, including from Weight Watchers, to try out as it contains less sugar or even sugar substitute and has more dark cocoa which is good for health. The advantage of these types of cakes is that it is healthy while at the same time, it tastes great!
