Enjoy your chocolate - it's good for you!

I have, in this blog, been trying to keep to healthy sorts of recipes, but I made a cake today that is probably not going to top the good-and-good-for-you charts, but it was so good that I had to include it.
I’ve seen this cake called a Honeymoon Cake (I have no idea why), a Chocolate Explosion Cake (it just oozes chocolate) and a Chocolate Volcano Cake (again, the chocolate just spills out of it when you serve it up). Whatever you call it, it is a decadent chocolate treat that’s easy to make and tastes so good, you’re not going to want to wait until you have someone with whom to share it.
In some ways, you could argue that the cake is good for you. After all, it is a well-known fact that chocolate is an antioxidant.
Dark chocolates, especially those with a cocoa content above 70 percent, contain reservatrol and cocoa phenols that help prevent cell damage. Recent studies have shown that chocolate contains eight times the amount of antioxidants that strawberries have. Chocolate is especially good for your heart because it can lower both your blood pressure and your cholesterol level.
Studies have shown that consuming a small bar of dark chocolate each day can drop several points from your blood pressure by reducing stress in your body and it has also been shown to reduce the LDL (bad) cholesterol by up to 10 percent.
So while you’re making yourself feel better and get healthier, you can enjoy this cake…in moderation, of course.
