CAKE

Sift dry ingredients together (except ground flax seed) Stir in ground flax seed Combine liquids (including

coffee substitute powder) then stir into the flour mixture Gently stir in chopped chocolate (or chocolate chips)

Pour into the prepared cake pans

Bake for minutes (longer if using one inch by inch pan) Test to be sure the cakes are finished: the cakes

should slightly pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out fairly

clean (not wet with batter clinging to it) Also be careful not to overbake the cakes because they can become too

dry and dense in this case

GARNISH

When making a layered cake (using identical sized pans) place the bottom layer of the cake on a serving plate

(

with parchment paper under the edges) Drizzle tablespoon of the coffee liqueur over the bottom cake and

then spread some of the icing over the top of this first layer Then place the second layer on top of the first

drizzle with the other tablespoon of coffee liqueur and then frost/ice the entire cake

Garnish cake with shredded coconut citrus zest shaved chocolate and toasted glazed pecans (chopped nuts

around the edge and halves for the top)

VARIATIONS:

"CarobMocha Cake" Use carob powder in place of cocoa and carob chips in place of chopped chocolate/

chocolate chips and "Carob Icing" in place of "Chocolate Icing" (see recipe) This will yield a lower fat cake
