Chocolate Heaven Cake from Red Ribbon is not an average chocolate cake.
It has four kinds of chocolate goodness: chocolate brownie, chocolate icing, chocolate curls and chocolate mousse.
These cakes will be made available on February 7, 2010 at Red Ribbon stores atPhP560.00 for the regular size and PhP335 for the Junior Size.
We had this with coffee and it was really good. For those who do not have a sweet tooth like me, a thin slice will do.
Just perfect to end a wonderful dinner served on contemporary coffee tables 🙂 Al fresco would be fine too since it is getting hot at night.

Chunky Chocolate Cookies with Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil?
I associate cookies with butter and not with olive oil because that is how I bake our cookies. Why not, this is the tried and tested ingredient for baked goodies. So when I saw cookies being prepared with olive oil, I was surprised.
I didn’t think I would be enjoying cookies with less guilt 😀
Here was how these cookies were prepared:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Dona Elena Pure Olive Oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 pcs large eggs, beaten
3 tbsp fresh milk
2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
chocolate chunks

Spotted background.
This tiny yellow wildflower has a background of green grass with tiny yellow flowers. The background looks spotted with yellow dots.
Or maybe it’s just me 😉
A full moon hiding behind the clouds was spotted here.
