Food Journal: Chocolate Cake for the Soul 🍫❤️

What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.
Katharine Hepburn

Since I was little, I knew that Chocolate and I were going to have a very special relationship. In fact, of all the things that I had to give up over the years, and in search of a better lifestyle, chocolate is the one that came back and came back stronger than ever.

You see, I'm not the only one that has a special relationship with chocolate; the Maya believed that cacao predates human history, and that gave them super human abilities since it was "A gift from the Gods". Even doctors say that cocoa is good for health, gives energy and stimulates the nervous system and promotes blood circulation, in addition, it produces endorphins that make people feel happy. So it's no wonder that chocolate is a huge part of many people's lives. If you don'n believe me, check out this article form National Geographic --->10Interesting Facts about Chocolate.

For me, it's something that gives me confort when I feel bad, depressed, or happy. Why do I have to feel awful to be able to enjoy a good quality piece of Chocolate? I don't have to, so when I don't have a chocolate bar, but instead I have the ingredients in my cabinet, I make a Chocolate Cake. It's realy simple, and it also reminds me of my Dad, and how he was a little mouse sneaking into the kitchen when no one was looking, to take a piece of cake, then he always said that he didn't even tried the cake because nobody gave him a piece to try!

Since there's is an economic crisis over here, we can't afford to have always the best quallity ingredients or even all the ingredients you ussualy use to make a Chocolate Cake, so, I use the following:

• All Purpose Flour

• Cocoa Powder

• Ground Coffee

• Sugar

• Vegetable Oil

• Baking soda

• Baking powder

• Hot Coffee

• Vinegar

The ground coffee enhances the chocolate flavour in a very glorious way, and the mixture between the baking soda and baking powder with the vinegar act as a substitute for eggs and milk, and give the cake a rich and moist texture that just melts in your mouth!

Of course, if you want to add frosting you can do it without guilt, but as it is, you can enjoy it with a Hot cup of Coffee, Tea, or a cold glass of milk. I promise that when you try this you'll feel conforted almost instantly as I do, and if you have memories around something with Chocolate they will pop up in your head.

In fact, is it happening right now?
