Old-Fashioned Chocolate Layer Cake
by Kayla Marie
A good old-fashioned chocolate layer cake might seem hard to
find but in reality it is as easy to find as that sweet tooth
which follows you everywhere.
There is no question why chocolate cake is one of the most
popular cakes today… it is because it is so devilishly tasty!
Everyone can use a lovely old-fashioned chocolate layer cake to
brighten their day or fill up their stomach and so can you. So
head to the store or even to your well stocked pantry and get
baking today!
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
12 tablespoons (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened but still
cool
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa, sifted
2 teaspoons instant espresso
1 cup and 2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
1)Adjust your oven rack the middle position and preheat oven to
350*. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and cover the pan
bottoms with rounds of parchment paper. Grease the parchment
rounds and dust the pans with powdered sugar.
2)Beat the butter in the bowl of a standard mixer at
medium-high speed until smooth- about 30 seconds. Gradually add
in the sugar, beat until the mixture is fluffy and almost white-
3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating one full
minute after each egg is added.
3)In a medium bowl, gently mix the flour, baking soda, salt,
cocoa, and instant espresso powder. In a liquid measuring cup,
combine the milk and vanilla. With the mixer at the lowest
speed, add approximately 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the
batter, followed immediately by about 1/3 of the milk mixture.
Mix until the ingredients are almost completely mixed into the
batter. Repeat two more times. When the batter looks well
blended, stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl with a
rubber spatula. Mix at low speed- about 15 to 20 more seconds.
4)Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. With a
rubber spatula, spread the batter to the pan sides and smooth
the tops. Bake the cakes until they feel firm in the center
when lightly pressed and when a toothpick inserted comes out
clear- around 24-30 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack
to cool for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each pan
and invert the cakes onto a wire rack. Peel off the paper liner.
Cool completely before frosting.
5)Frost the cake using a rubber spatula. When complete, cut the
cake into appropriately sized slices and enjoy your
old-fashioned chocolate layer cake, refrigerating any leftovers
(bringing to room temperature before serving again).
Pretty easy, right? I can promise you this recipe is worth the
time. It is so decadent it melts in your mouth. It is really
moist.
Oh, don’t forget to check and make sure that you have a glass
of ice cold milk that you can enjoy right along with a warm
slice of this old-fashioned chocolate layer cake.

Herb Detox Diets: Detoxing Your Blood!
By Beverley Brooke
Do you know that the most effective detox diets are based on
Herbs and supplements? The presence of toxic substances has
been shown to be the root cause of most diseases and getting
rid of these toxins in our body system is bound to ensure long
lasting health. Technology. We live in a grand time of
technological development. Computers the Internet/ cell phones/
digital cameras and DVDs. But the human body has not ‘kept up’
with technology. Experts agree that it’s not good to try and
loose excess weight in a quick manner. It’s better to take your
time and incorporate a package of exercise.
Detoxification is unarguably very important for a long lasting
health. There are several ways to achieve detoxification of the
system some depend on the type of chemicals we are attempting to
rid the body of while others have a general effect. Sometimes
these side-effects are enough to put people off a detox program
but often the worse the reaction the more pertinent the detox is
for the body. If you are truly sick the symptoms above feel
awful as time progresses. The symptoms are more than transient
and more than mild.
When lotion is applied to the skin these chemicals are also
absorbed through the skin. These and many other toxins are
floating around in our blood streams stored in our fat clogging
up our livers and causing problems with our elimination
(resulting in constipation or diarrhea). Those ready for an
intermediate detox can do a 21 day whole body cleanse with the
Internal Cleansing Kit by Blessed Herbs. It contains herbs that
detoxify all the body’s organs of elimination and toxic
substances. Hair analysis is perhaps the best method for
analyzing the presence and amount of toxins in the body this is
because the protein in the hair fiber tends to retain the
composition of the body tissue for a longer period of time.
Emotional RET Remedies: These wonderful homeopathic/flower
essence combinations were developed by Professional Health
Formulations to help with the emotional aspects of physical
symptoms within the body. The most important organ you should
consider when thinking about starting a detox diet is your
liver and how it will thank you dearly after. A detox diet plan
is not aimed at weight loss. See more at

slow down on the program and start again very gradually. Some
people prefer their tea hot and some cold and some like sun tea
once again it doesn’t matter. Use the process allow the body to
come into balance start to assimilate the nutrients it requires
and watch your health improve.You only need to do your research
and there will be lots of detoxification procedures to choose
from however it is always advisable to see your physician to be
sure of what toxins constitute risk to your health and perhaps
the best method to get rid of these.
