I think this surely has got to be the best chocolate birthday cake I’ve seen in a while and I hope you agree…pretty impressive stuff!
We all know that eating too much chocolate can of course cause a number of very serious health issues (such as obesity) and tempting though it is to stuff our faces none stop with delicious chocolate goodness, this can without a doubt cause some extremely serious problems for our health and wellbeing if eaten in excess regularly.
However, it may surprise you to know that some recent research has actually suggested that eating good quality dark chocolate may possibly actually have some positive effects on our health – with benefits to the body including potentially lowering the risk of a person suffering a stroke. There was also some evidence to suggest that eating dark chocolate may also benefit us by reducing the potential risk of heart disease for adult individuals.
With the nights drawing in and the temperatures dropping below freezing in many areas of the UK, everyone is looking for a bit of home comforts, and unless you’ve decided to torture yourself with some sort of dreadful January health kick, then its hard to beat a good chocolate pudding when it comes to comfort food in these chilly climatic conditions.
Indeed, if you enjoy cooking and are a lover of all things chocolate then the cold weather can actually be a great excuse to break out Delia Smith’s melting chocolate pudding recipe and delight your friends and family with this classic pudding from Norfolk’s greatest export.
