I just made an amazing chocolate using a unique recipe which I am sure no one has ever used. Here are the ingredients:

Betty Crocker's Dark Chocolate Cake Mix []

Unsweetened 99% cocoa baking chocolate (German), chopped, 75 g
Cacao beans (Ecuador), raw, finely chopped, 6
Cocoa powder (German), 3 tbsp

Bananas, mashed, 2 (separated batter into 2 equal parts, and added to 1 half at the end)
Zucchini, finely shredded, 1
Carrot, finely shredded, 1
Prunes, quartered, 15

Next five products by http://www.bobsredmill.com
Wheat bran, 2 tbsp
Oat bran, 2 tbsp
Flaxseed meal, 2tbsp
Rolled oats, 3 tbsp
Whole grain pancake and waffle mix, 5 tbsp

Water, ~1 cup
EVOO, 3 tbsp (could have done without any oil at all)
Eggs, 3
Natural yogurt, low-fat, 170g tub

Herbs Provencale, dried, 1/4 tsp (thyme, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, savoury, basil, tarragon)



I was also going to add 1 shredded apple (makes cakes/brownies very moist) as I have done it before, but with all the other non-baking ingredients I added for the first time ever (zucchini, carrot), I thought it wasn't a good idea as the cake might not bake and/or fall apart once baked.

Cake turned out extremely moist, and delicious. More like a rich dessert than a cake. And the banana one is even better tasting.

I have been making [relatively] healthy cakes and brownies for a long time, but I must admit, always from commercial mixes. In the next couple of years, I am going to learn proper [healthy] baking from scratch so that when it is time for my daughter to have a bit of cake on her birthdays, she eats delicious and nutritious stuff, not commercial shit full of sugar, white flour, nasty fats, and millions of colors, flavors, and preservatives.

BTW, the dried herb mixture added a very nice barely noticeable flavor.

i am not a fan of chocolate cake

12/2/2009 7:19:28 PM

then you won't get none of mine!

and it doesn't have to be chocolate.

you can take any other flavor cake mix and add any/all the ingredients i added, except for the cocoa/chocolate stuff. you can get some amazing tasting results!

one of my friends has a recipe for broccoli brownies but you can't taste the broccoli and some other BS goes in there too. i kinda want to try them sometime

don't lie... you don't eat any of those things, except perhaps bananas

i add most of that stuff to brownies as well, and it makes really rich, moist, and dense brownies. those broccoli brownies sound intriguing... i wonder what the purpose is of adding them. i guess they are for moistness, as the fiber in them will hold water (same reason for adding prunes and the Bob's Red Mill products). these are the best brownies you have never had:

"you've been doing it wrong if you think cakes aren't often rich desserts"

well, mine are always moist, but i have had a lot of cakes, both commercial and at other people's houses, that are just very 'cakey' and quite dry.

12/3/2009 3:12:33 AM

You know what else is great to add moistness to cakes and brownies?

Chopped dates

I have done it before, and the results are always amazing. And they add a nice flavor as well.

And a tub of cream cheese is also very good, but adds too much saturated fat, so I have stopped doing that.

12/3/2009 9:29:23 AM

you know how to make a moist cake? follow the directions on the box and stop putting fucking vegetables in a cake. It's a fucking cake man. Save the stupid hippie bullshit for your 3 meals a day. the whole point of dessert is to get away from all that and fucking pork out for a bit.

So you have never had carrot cake, and will never have it? Fucking idiot.

Nevermind the fact that the one I made tasted better than what it would taste if it was just using the box directions! And it was healthy as well. But, nutrition doesn't matter to you, taste does, right? So if mine tasted better (according to several people who tried it, without knowing the ingredients), shouldn't that trump the fact it contained vegetables? So, stop fucking contradickting yourself. You carry on with your boring life if you want... don't put down others who like to experiment and have fun, and make something better in the process. Oh wait, you are a troll... I wasted my energy typing all that.

taking a cake and adding a carrot and some prunes to it does not make it healthy by any stretch of the imagination.

quality... yeah man you made vegetable fruit cake, not 'cake'

i mean fuck, you put goddam HERBS in a fucking CAKE....

i suppose that was to mask the several ounces of oats, brans, meal and fucking WAFFLE MIX... but then again you also put in a goddamn carrot and zucchini and prunes....

bananas at least make a little sense....

the only normal shit you used were the eggs, oil, water, cake mix, and what is normally a excessive amount of chocolate (even by my standards) but i suppose you had to mask that mega colon blow taste somehow...

i mean shit man, i thought you ate a decent diet then you go throw this mess in there... what did you do? blindfold yourself, spin around 10 times fast, then stumble into the kitchen and grabbed the first 15 items you touched? good thing you missed the Sixteen raw sausages in a wooden bowl


this kinda shit is stuff parents concoct to trick their kids to eat decently....

lol, perhaps a little better but then again he added another pound of chocolate to it as well



MOST RIDICULOUS CAKE RECIPE EVER!

"taking a cake and adding a carrot and some prunes to it does not make it healthy by any stretch of the imagination."

how would you know? did you do a chemical analysis of my cake? i added a lot more than carrot and prunes.

overall, maybe it was healthy, maybe not, as the betty crocker mix is quite shitty (50% sugar, white flour, tons of garbage, etc). i would pay someone to do a nutritional analysis of it, but i don't know anybody who could.

however, with all the things i added, i boosted the fiber content by > 500%, decreased the sugar ratio by a lot, tripled the protein content, and of course, added tons of phytonutrients/antioxidants from cocoa, fruits/veggies, etc.

overall, was it enough to overcome the shittiness of the cake mix? i don't know.

Quote :

"I was with you until you added herbs."

the herbs added a nice barely noticeable flavor. those who didn't know about them couldn't taste the herbs, but a couple of them said they felt a tiny bit of refreshing 'coolness' to it, which i guess was from the herbs.


oh look, another troll STFU Arab13. there is so much shit in that post of yours, i don't even know where to start. it is obvious you have NO experience with cooking or taste of foods from some of the things you just said (you think that adding wheat/oat bran to a cake batter would actually impart any taste... wow, what an ignorant retard, and you also think pure good chocolate is unhealthy ). i would educate you, but your assholish attitude points to an "i am the best, i know everything even in domains i don't have much experience with, i don't want to learn anything" type of personality. suit yourself. you stick with stuff you know and are good at compared to others, and i will stick to what i am good at. and take that stick out of your ass... you don't have to eat my cake.

12/3/2009 11:57:56 AM

the cake is a lie

12/3/2009 11:59:12 AM

hahahah

12/3/2009 12:05:55 PM

Seriously, that cake sounds like the worst thing ever.

Fuck this thread, fuck your cake, and fuck you.

if trap's wife said it sucked (which it did) he would have beat her into next week

12/3/2009 12:12:02 PM

12/3/2009 12:13:25 PM

good thing they are in a country were if he didn't beat her he'd get in trouble

i don't doubt that 90% of the folks in this thread could out bake you...

(not saying that the chocolate is bad for you (anything in high doses is though) just that you added a ton of it for the only apparent reason of covering up other 'tastes' that never belonged in a cake to begin with... )

if you think those brans and whatever taste good go eat a spoonful dry right now and come back and tell us how good it tastes as it sandblasts your digestive tract

this is probably 80% of your original problem to begin with.... then you tossed a bunch of random healthy shit in there to help 'balance it out' well i'm sure you balanced the healthy bits but you definitely didn't balance the flavor or the texture...

HERBS man HERBS, seriously? GFTO with that shit

12/3/2009 12:13:42 PM

here is the recipe for the brownies

the friend that makes them is a runner and a health food nut so i thinks she adds the broccoli MOSTLY to get her daughter to eat it hehe but apparently they have a lot of fiber and protein and stuff.

Quote :

"Let me start by saying I don't measure anything, so these are guesses. You really can't mess this up. Ingredients: 2 Medium heads of broccoli salt 1 egg room temp. 1/2 stick of butter 2 tbls of olive oil 1 cup natural peanut butter (or regular if you're not picky) 1/3 cup of wheat germ Up to one cup of reserved water from boiling broccoli Your favorite brownie mix (I use Giradelli) To Make Preheat oven to 325. Bring a big pot of water to a boil, add a few pinches of salt. Chop broccoli into meduim size portions, add to boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserve the water. Put broccoli, butter and 1 tlbs of olive oil into food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and let it cool off a little. (At this point, you shuold have about 1.5 - 2 cups of broccoli mixture. Trust me - it will look like a lot, but it will be hidden nicely.) Add peanut butter and wheat germ (you could also add flax seed at this point but Elin can detect that stuff a mile away). Mix until blended. Beat egg in seperate bowl and add a little of the broccoli mixture to the beaten egg to temper (if you add egg directly to mixture, you will scrammble it unless mixture is completely cooled). Add brownie mix. If it is too thick (it will be), add 1/2 cup of reserved water and 1 tbls of olive oil. Bake in oven for 90 minutes. The box will say 45 minutes but all the moisture from broccoli will make this like fudge if you don't cook it long enough. I do the toothpick test about 1 hour into it and usually go 15-30 minutes longer. I've never over-cooked these. Remove from oven, cool, cut and serve. "

12/3/2009 12:18:17 PM

Take out the broccoli and you've got a winner.

12/3/2009 12:20:46 PM

everything i've ever tasted with extra stuff in it for 'healthy' reasons as always sucked (from 5-10 different cooks)
