Results of a study conducted by researchers
The results showed that people who eat chocolate cake daily are active throughout the day. It may be strange to you, but the results also showed that chocolate cake could help people lose weight.
The researchers said we need energy, especially our brain, upon waking. We are so busy with hectic routines that we don’t usually eat something that can boost us up, so eating a piece of cake can help us do our routine work efficiently.
The results of the study are quite surprising. People who eat a piece of cake before 9 am have positive brain results.
But why is chocolate so useful for health?
One of the explanations is that it contains flavonoids that are found mainly in foods of plant origin and can be obtained in large quantities within cocoa beans.
What are the benefits of chocolate cake?
Now, eating just any cake doesn’t offer all the benefits below. The chilli’s volcano has vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, but a slice of cake made with pure cocoa and no artificial sweeteners can provide you with the following benefits:
- It is good for our heart and blood circulation.
- Chocolate consumption reduces the risk of strokes.
- It contains minerals like selenium, potassium, and zinc that are good for our health.
- Cocoa has a point in favour because it increases the level of good cholesterol for health and reduces the level of bad cholesterol.
- The dark chocolate cake contains flavonols that can protect our skin from sun damage.
- It can help you lose weight.
- According to the research, pregnant women should eat chocolate cakes because it reduces stress, and the babies of those parents who used to eat chocolate cakes are more smiling than those whose parents did not eat them.
- Chocolate cake can improve your memory.
- Chocolate has methamphetamine, which is the same chemical our brains use when we feel like we’re falling in love. It encourages our brain to release good endorphins and makes us feel better.
- Chocolate cake is not only good for our brains but also for our hearts and soul. Therefore, enjoy this blessing at your favourite coffee shop or your nearest chilli.
Banana and chocolate cake without oven
Delicious and irresistible banana and chocolate cake with a biscuit base, a dessert made without an oven, perfect for serving cold.
Ingredients
- Two ripe bananas
- 400 millilitres of whipping cream
- 125 grams of cookies with chocolate pieces
- 125 milliliters of milk
- 80 grams of butter
- 80 grams of sugar
- 10 grams of powdered neutral gelatin
- 75 grams of dark chocolate
- 30 milliliters of water
Elaboration
Melt the butter in the microwave and let it cool. Crush the cookies. Mix well with the crushed biscuits and the melted butter in the same bowl.
Cover the base of a removable round mould with baking paper. Pour the cookie and butter mixture on top. Press lightly so that there is a compact and uniform base.
Heat the milk in the microwave. Next, put the gelatin, water, sugar and hot milk in a bowl and stir. Peel the banana, chop it and add it to the bowl. Mix and crush everything with the blender until you have a fine cream. Let it cool.
Put the very cold cream in another bowl and assemble it with the stick mixer.
Add two tablespoons of whipped cream to the bowl of banana cream (at room temperature) and mix gently. Pour the cream over the bowl of whipped cream and mix with soft, enveloping movements.
Pour the banana mousse into the mould on the biscuit base. Smooth the surface. Cover the mould with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 4 hours (ideally overnight).
Spread the chopped chocolate over the cake. Unmold the tart (if necessary, gently run a spatula along the sides of the pan to separate them).
Serve the banana and cold chocolate cake.
