Love a slice of cake with my evening tea but with the bikini season just around the corner
I had to come up with some recipes for healthier cakes, lower in fat and sugar. But important for me that they taste
like cake and not some diet variation. I wanted something with chocolate and tried different bakes to get the right
balance of sweetness and consistency. These chocolate muffins came out on top, just about 110 kcalories each.
