Servings: 12

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon chocolate extract, you can also use vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

8 oz dark chocolate chips, any other chocolate will do

2 eggs

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup light olive oil

4 tablespoons powdered sugar, more if you like

8 oz reduced fat cream cheese

1 cup reduced fat milk

1 cup strong brewed coffee

3/4 cup unrefined sugar, you can add more but I think this is plenty.

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

Mousse

Equipment:

springform pan

bowl

oven

frying pan

wire rack

Cooking instruction summary:

Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan and set aside. (You can also use two 9 inch round cake pans). Preheat oven to 350 F.In a bowl mix all the wet cake ingredients. Add dry ingredients to the bowl and combine. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 50- 60 minutes or until tester comes out clean (I baked mine for about 50 minutes).Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack completely.For the mousse. In a bowl beat the cream until foamy and gradually pour in the sugar and cocoa powder beating until stiff peaks form.For the frosting. In another bowl beat the cream cheese, and sugar. Over medium to high heat bring heavy cream to a boil. Turn of heat and add chocolate chips. Blend together until chips are melted. Pour the melted chocolate into the cheese mixture and combine. Let it sit for 30-40 minutes until if firms up a bit. You can place the mixture in the fridge to speed up the process. (If the mixture does not firm up you can add more powdered sugar but I don't think it will be neccessary)To assemble the cake. Because I baked the cake in a 9 inch springform pan rather than in two 9 inch pans I divided the cake in two layers by cutting it horizontally.Spread the mouse over one cake layer. Top with second cake layer and frost the top and sides with the chocolate frosting.Decorate as desired.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
