| Chocolate Orange Cake with Chocolate Orange Sauce |
This is a different and nice cake. I used orange
juice instead of milk, resulting in a cake with fudgy texture, nice flavor and a way to
use up orange juice.
The orange flavor is subtle. Add orange zest or
orange liqueur if you prefer a stronger orange flavor. The sauce also has a
subtle orange flavor, and its not overly sweet. The recipe is available here.

I don’t know whether this news is extremely
useful, or extremely useless. You decide.
Researchers from The Ohio State University
discovered that drinking milk while eating garlic-heavy food can reduce the
malodorous breath associated with garlic consumption. Although drinking milk
after eating a garlic-infused meal can still help, the study found that
drinking it during the meal will have better results. Both fat-free and whole milk worked, but whole
milk was found to be more effective due to its higher fat content.
So, if you are out on a first date and don’t
want to have garlic breath, having milk with your meal can help, but it will look strange. You won’t have
garlic breath, or even better, it probably won’t matter since you may not have anyone to kiss. Garlic breath issue solved, twice!
I'm going to try that milk trick the next time I have lots of garlic! :D
ReplyDeleteHope it works
DeleteYour cake looks and sounds marvellous. Chocolate, orange, orange liqueur... Have you said fudgy texture? I really must try it! I never have enough chocolate recipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will pass the milk (as most adults I don't digest it well and moreover I have always hated the taste of pure milk; whenever I see an American film where adults drink milk with cookies, I am put off cookies for a long time). I propose parsley instead: it kills the garlic smell and is very healthy whatever the age or intolerance.
Thank you. It turned out to be quite fudgy, which was nice.
DeleteThat parsley idea sounds like a nice alternative - and I suppose parsley breath is better than garlic breath!
That cakes just looks simply delectable, moist and satisfying. And I like the choco-orange combo a lot.
ReplyDeleteI am a milk drinker and even if it may improve my breath I feel my milk drinking experience would be ruined during a meal, sounds weird to me lol.
Thank you. It was satisfying:)
DeleteOh my that chocolate orange cake looks decadent. Look at that sauce yum!
