Organic Chocolate Cake
If you need another excuse to buy organic chocolate then I think I’ve found the perfect one. You need to try this Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake recipe to see if turns out as well as looks.
This recipe is provided by Green and Black’s and naturally they suggest using Green and Blacks organic dark chocolate but obviously you can use any good quality organic dark chocolate. The recipe also calls for sugar, eggs, and butter which you shouldn’t have any problems finding organic. However you also need icing sugar and ground almonds. You might have to look a bit harder to find organic icing sugar and organic ground almonds but it should be available from a larger organic supermarket. You could probably get by without the almonds if you can’t find them.
