Double Mocha Chocolate Cake

May 13, 2013 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Double Mocha Chocolate Cake | healthylivinghowto.com

I've shared this recipe before, in cupcake form…due to the rave reviews from family and friends, it's been my “go to” healthy chocolate cake recipe. I like cupcakes for easy portion control, however, when it comes to presentation, a double layer frosted cake wins, hands down.

Yesterday, for Mother's Day, we gathered as a family for a backyard barbecue at my sister's house. I was in charge of salad and dessert. I made our favorite Salad with SASS and then I made this healthy chocolate cake. I'm calling it Double Mocha Cake — chocolatey goodness with just a hint of coffee added.

There was not a slice left…my sister said it was her favorite healthy chocolate cake ever, my niece and nephews ate it, none the wiser. My older son, who typically doesn't like my “healthy” desserts, ate one piece and asked for a second. I say all this, for one reason only, to show you can feed your family healthy desserts, with no sugar-added and still enjoy and celebrate holidays.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
