Chocolate Cake Has Never Been This Great!
In a perfect world, chocolate cake has vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, fiber, and it tastes heavenly. It’s not just a… Well, it’s not just a glob of sugar and processed white flour.
Guess what? This chocolate cake has surprising healthy ingredients - carrot, zucchini, beets, cherries, banana, currants, dates. And ZERO added sugar. No refined sugar, raw sugar or imitation sugar! And it’s sweet! The sweetness comes from the medley of fruits and their God-designed natural sugars.
We’re using spelt flour because it is sugar-free, high in protein, fiber, and low on calories. A cup of spelt flour contains 246 kcal while a cup of white flour has a whopping 455 kcal.

Thank you Annette. My children and grandchildren are vegan and want me to bring a dish to their Easter dinner. I’ll make a vegan lasagna and top it off by making this healthy looking cake and its chocolate pudding topping. Thanks for all you do for us and for all your hard work.
