LuC2's Journal, 04 May 2014

I wanted chocolate...deep, dark, rich chocolate -- pure and unadulterated (...a snippet of Dove bar was NOT going to do it this time). So, combined a few recipes and ideas to come up with this Dark Chocolate Yogurt Cake <http://fatsecret.com/recipes/rec-5d62d94309cc4428b84035365920cf4b/Default.aspx>

I was a good girl and saved room in my food budget today so I could have a slice of this heaven. By all means, tweak the calories with Greek yogurt, large eggs and applesauce in place of the oils. I used what I had on hand and it turned out pretty darn tasty. Whole wheat flour, a protein boost from the yogurt and antioxidant-laden cacoa. (My photo shows a dust of powdered sugar). Bon appetit!

I just finished it so FatSecret has to review before publish. But you can go to my "apple icon and select VIEW MEMBER PROFILE. Toward the bottom of screen you will see MY COOKBOOK. Select VIEW COMPLETE COOKBOOK and you'll see it in my register near the end of the list Dark Chocolate Yogurt Cake. Lots of stuff there. Some are true recipes that have been submitted and awaiting FatSecret approval. Some I only put in ingredients to get nutrition count and others I'm still tweaking to get the fat|cal|sod|carb where I want them before I actually submit.

WHERE Was this yesterday when I was craving chocolate cake? I finally compromised and had sugar free choco pudding with peanut butter chips and that was 'ok' but this sounds delicious!

The only thing that comes to mind right now is Drool. Sounds delicious.

Sounds wonderful! Since I'm a little too lazy to go to all that effort to cook something like that, I usually have the Smart Ones desserts on hand. I can get my chocolate fix and feel satisfied. But I do think I need to try this recipe when I'm feeling energetic! Thanks for sharing.

Hey LuC2, I saw your comment on my journal. Thank you so much you are the best. Also, please don't forget I practically begged you for the recipe. I hope you have a wonderful time creating these delicious sounding and tasting recipes. I can't wait to try one down the road. A healthy and delicious alternative will be a nice change from the processed cake I saw this weekend.

This will be a real challenge. I have eaten late at nigh for years and years so the habit it really engrained.

Knowing that I don't have to feel deprived (moderation) keeps me grounded and focused on the long-term goal. I've had my one slice yesterday and no more. The family has taken care of the rest, but I don't feel bad about the boys eating a 'whole-wheat, no butter, no weird unpronouneable ingredients' chocolate cake. Savor the flavor! :D
