Dark Chocolate Whiskey Cake

Dark Chocolate Cake with a lot of Whiskey, a lot of Cocoa, a lot of Nescafé and a strong ground cloves aroma, is perfect for any occasion! Sure, Chocolate has many friends and is a magical and adorable ingredient.

Chocolate is the main ingredient in Cocoa, which comes from the cocoa tree and is one of the main ingredients in pastry, in sweets, ice creams, cookies and other containing sugar. Chocolate is also called hot chocolate (decoction) based on chocolate. The one who brought cocoa to Europe was Hernando Cortez.

The Aztecs used the cocoa beans -first they crushed them and made them powder- to make a drink called «Choclatl». This drink, along with other spices, made it hot and considered it to be digestive, potent, and the best medicine of its time, which could cure any illness.

For the first time solid chocolate was produced by London's traditional coffee shop «The Mill of Coffee», which in 1674 introduced chocolate bars «a la Spanish» and a chocolate cake in solid form.

Classic Vanilla Bundt Cake

Vanilla Cake & Chocolate, a real Bundt Cake robust, solid, tough, heavy, liquid cake that has nothing to do with fluffy, airy, ethereal cakes, but it is wonderful and you will allow me, for excitement, to offer you with many praises.

PS. If you like you can make it like a Santa Claus Christmas Cake. Remove the cocoa and place it in a flat, round shape pan.🎄

One Pot Chocolate Cake

It became an incredibly fluffy & juicy chocolate cake -a foam cake- perfectly soaked with cocoa syrup, similar to the previous you so loved!
Follow the detailed steps of preparing it and discover the little secrets that distinguish it from the package of similar proposals.

Healthy Chocolate Truffles

After a long period where most of us indulged in anything that contained more than «a thousand hundredweight of sugar», it is time to enjoy a sweet very different.
For the beginning of the year, in 2016 the first post of Kitchen Stories proposes an idea of chocolate truffles, with raw ingredients and no sugar. The joy of pleasure without remorse and the lighter feeling of dessert.
Bright aromas of orange and cocoa, with a sour aftertaste from the juice of orange and cranberries. Dried fruits that are used are very tasty and quite sweet. This is why sugar was replaced here by a spoonful of stevia and this is optional because some people can and do not need this extra sweetness.

A delicious, juicy and flat cake, which will not crumble, is the appropriate basis to make these little sweets almost a mouthful, after having to cut into small cubes, to cut again the cubes for filling with jam. Process as simple game.
The cocoa glaze is easy and even though it does not have the taste of chocolate tones, but equally captivating in my opinion, it has the cocoa flavor, that chocolate is a bit more "grumpy" in preparation and its use in relation to cocoa.
