Let's Be Yummy A Gluten Free way to enjoy life's pleasant delights
Oozing chocolate deliciousness in this exquisitely divine Chocolate Pudding Cake and it’s Gluten Free Dairy Free!
In the world of chocolate, there are a lot of interesting facts about this wonderful food group (YES, as far as I am concerned, it is a food group!)
Did you know:
Chocolate is made from the fruit of the cacao tree.
The scientific name of the cacao tree, Theobroma, means “food of the gods.” I am pretty sure that name meaning is a no brainer!
There are 40-50 million people who depend on cocoa for their livelihood.
More than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold every year for Valentine’s Day.
Hawaii is the only US state that grows cacao beans to produce chocolate. (And I just thought I needed to go visit Hawaii for the tropical loveliness).**
What can I say?
My two greatest loves in the world of food is coffee and chocolate!
Chocolate in the form of fudgesicles as a child, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, strawberries dipped in chocolate, chocolate pudding, my Grandmom’s Mississippi Mud cake, chocolate sheath cake…well, you get the idea, I LOVE chocolate!
And even though I am totally against commercial holidays (do you really need to wait until February 14th to show me you love me by some act of kindness in the form of flowers or candy or whatever the retailers are pushing selling this year?). To me an expression of love, besides chocolate of course, can best be shown in the unexpected: a wild flower you saw on your way home, a video you know I would enjoy or a magazine or book that made you think of me.
Back to this glorious form of love:
There is just something about the rich dark color, the chocolate fragrance and the moist chocolate flavor that leaves me wanting more and more and more…..
This Chocolate Pudding Cake packs a punch in all three areas.
From mixing the ingredients in all their dark loveliness, to the aroma while the cake was baking, to that first mouth watering rich chocolate bite..
OH MY GOODNESS, talk about sensory overload!
The flavor of this cake goes beyond the limp description of moist, great texture and melt in your mouth goodness.
I have eaten my fair share of chocolate cakes in the past, but this is hands down, one of the best I have ever eaten!
This chocolate pudding cake takes you right to the edge of being too chocolate, it is that rich.
