Eat Chocolate Cake Sans Feeling Guilty Afterwards
Studies have indicated that those who eat sweet treats with an attitude of celebration are more likely to stay fit compared with those who are often plagued with guilt after eating. People who experience guilt are more likely to gain some unwanted pounds.
This research was published in the current online edition of the journal Appetite, and it shows that how we see treats, such as chocolate cake, is just as important as its caloric value when it comes down to expanding waistlines.
Feelings of guilt, for some reason, compel us to abandon our diet or fitness programs and drown ourselves in a regimen of unhealthy eating. On the flip side, if you deem chocolate a reward and something that you must celebrate, you are more likely to stick to your guns and adhere to your long-term weight loss goals.
Chocolate is considered as one of the hottest commodities in the world. People praise it for its taste, scent and texture, albeit they know that the finished products are packed with fat and sugar. Snacking on chocolate treats more than what is appropriate has been shown to be a major risk factor for obesity.
The latest research, by experts at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, displays that the effect on human behavior is vital, as well. This research, led by Dr Roeline Kuijer and Jessica Boyce, was an attempt to know whether guilt from devouring chocolate cake acted as an enticement to promote weight control, or undermined dieters’ willpower to succeed.
Me, I’m the type who just need to have her dessert. You all know that when I say “dessert”, I really mean chocolate. Not a day goes by without chocolate getting cozy with my palate. But that’s me. I don’t know about you. It actually doesn’t mess with my weight, mind you. I’m keeping it moderate, mate.

Recipe for Making Chocolate Cake
Here’s a recipe for the best ever chocolaty moist chocolate cake with dense brown chocolate color. It’s the easiest recipe I have ever baked and tastes divine!
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup boiling coffee
Directions
Preheat oven to 170C degrees.
Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla essence, and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Beat together with a fork or hand whisk until everything is combined. Add the boiling coffee and mix well. (The batter will turn out thin.)
Pour batter into prepared 10-inch pan, and bake for 50 minutes or until a cake tester or wooden pick comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
Serve immediately for warm chocolate cake, or bake a day in advance for an even richer taste.
