Every chocoholic knows how hard it is to resist anything that even smells the slightest bit like chocolate. And chocolate cake is no exception. But what if you don''t have to give it up at all?

Fresh chocolate is better for the body than regular chocolate

If you''re one of those people who make sure that you only put proven health benefits into your body, then a raw chocolate cake is perfect for you. Do you roll your eyes at the mention of precision chocolate, as if it''s just another fad? No, because there''s a lot of truth in the claim that raw chocolate is better for your body than regular chocolate, because they''re different due to the different manufacturing process. While regular chocolate is made at very high temperatures, precision chocolate is made at lower temperatures.

If you know the basic principles of precision nutrition, then you know that raw foods are not processed and heat-treated above 45 °C. This way, the food - and the raw chocolate - retains all the beneficial enzymes, nutrients and minerals that are often destroyed by high temperatures. In addition to the ever-welcome antioxidants, fresh chocolate contains a range of vitamins, monounsaturated fats, proteins and fibre, as well as iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, manganese and potassium. In addition, it does not contain harmful fats and unnecessary sugar, which are often added to conventional chocolate during the manufacturing process.

Quick and easy to prepare raw chocolate cake

If you''re not used to experimenting with raw foods, this recipe will be a great way to get you started, as it''s really simple even for pure beginners. This raw chocolate cake is not only extremely tasty, but also has a wonderful chocolate look. Instead of the sugar usually found in cake recipes, dates provide the sweet taste. Dates are full of minerals, potassium, chromium, magnesium and iron. Just as full of magnesium and iron, raw cacao contains almost 4 times as many antioxidants as regular processed dark chocolate, 20 times as many antioxidants as blueberries and 119 times as many antioxidants as bananas.

It also contains compounds that have the effect of increasing levels of serotonin and endorphins in the brain - hormones that stimulate pleasant emotions. Cocoa also contains the stimulants caffeine and theobromine, which can increase concentration and promote well-being. Another important and very good ingredient in this cake is walnuts. They are full of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for health and well-being - they have a beneficial effect on blood pressure, lower cholesterol and improve mental health, among other things. Because the body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own, we need to get them from foods such as walnuts.
