Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

softened butter , for greasing
3 large eggs
85g caster sugar
70g plain flour
1 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp cocoa
½ tsp baking powder
25g dark chocolate , chopped (don't use 75% chocolate, or the icing will be bitter)
1 tbsp strong black coffee
100g light soft cheese
100g 0% Greek yogurt
2 tbsp icing sugar
15g dark chocolate , chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter and line the bases of 2 x 18cm sandwich tins with baking paper. Whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 mins with a tabletop mixer or 10 mins using an electric hand whisk. The mixture will have increased greatly in volume and be thick enough to leave a trail on the surface when the whisk blades are lifted.
  • Sift the flour, cornflour, cocoa and baking powder over the surface and fold in gently using a large metal spoon. Divide between the tins, gently spreading the mixture to the edges, then bake for 15-20 mins until the cakes are well risen, have begun to shrink away from the sides of the tins and spring back when gently pressed. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn out onto a rack.
  • To decorate, microwave the chocolate and coffee together on Medium for 20-30 secs until the chocolate has melted. Gently stir until smooth, then cool slightly. Beat the soft cheese with the yogurt and icing sugar until smooth, then spoon half the mixture into a small bowl stir in the melted chocolate and set aside. Place one cake on a serving plate and spread with the yogurt mixture. Cover with the other cake, then spread the chocolate yogurt mixture over the top.
  • To finish, microwave the 15g chocolate on Medium for about 20 secs until melted. Stir gently until smooth, then drizzle all over the cake.

LIGHT CAFE MOCHA



Light Cafe Mocha image

I worked hard to get the right measurements for this. I love cafe mochas but don't love the sugar, hence I used the wonderful sweetener, stevia! It is a natural product that you will find in health stores and has no calories but is around 30 times as powerful as sugar. I also like the dual chocolates. The dutch cocoa gives it a rich flavor while the regular cocoa gives it that nice bitter end.

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant coffee
82 mg stevia powder (2 scoops)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 cup of milk on stovetop. You can eliminate the skin that forms on the bottom of the pot or pan by wetting it before heating. You can prevent the skin that forms at the surface by either foaming the milk (whip it) before heating or covering the pot or both.
  • Recommend pre-heating the cup by putting water in it and microwaving it for 2 minutes.
  • When milk is hot (I use a digital probe thermometer and wait for it to get to about 170), discard water from cup and add dry ingredients to bottom of cup.
  • Add milk slowly, stirring.
  • Enjoy!

LIGHT MOCHA

On a chilly morning, enjoy a steamy cup of this guilt-free coffee drink.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 5m

Yield 5 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder (or coffee)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
4 to 5 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine unsweetened cocoa powder, instant espresso powder (or coffee), and salt. Starting very gradually (adding 1 tablespoon at a time), vigorously whisk in 2 cups water until very smooth; whisk in 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in sugar until dissolved. If desired, strain through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.

Tips:

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use a dark roast coffee.
  • If you don't have a milk frother, you can make frothed milk by heating milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk the milk vigorously until it is frothy.
  • To make a vegan version of this recipe, use almond milk or soy milk instead of cow's milk and omit the whipped cream.
  • For a sweeter mocha, add an extra tablespoon of chocolate syrup.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mocha for a warm and cozy flavor.
