Hello everyone!!This Sunday I prepared something different: a chocolate cake!! I'm a chocaholic and I needed some comfort-food (sweet) for my snacks during this week. Despite not being a traditional portuguese recipe, I definitely included it in my life. I decided to share it because it might be a good option for Christmas, as you will see it uses a reduced amount of fat!! |
Olá a todos!!Neste Domingo preparei algo diferente: um bolo de chocolate!! Sou viciada em chocolate e precisava de comida reconfortante (doce) para os lanchinhos desta semana.

A year ago I shared how I decorate my Christmas tree | À um ano atrás partilhei como decoro a minha árvore de Natal: My 2D Christmas tree decoration!
It's possible to see some green pieces of the zucchini (with some effort). | Conseguem ver-se alguns pedaços verdes da courgete (com algum esforço).
Do you want it with a cup of coffee? I do!! | Querem-no com uma chávena de café? Eu quero!!
Did you ever eated cakes with vegetables? Which ones? Carrots, spinach,...!? Hope you like this healtier version of a chocolate cake! This recipe is similar to the "chocolate mousse" one, but inclued flour and zucchini. With these quantities it doesn't get too sweet, which I appretiate!! Have a great week!! |
Alguma vez comeram bolos com vegetais? Quais? Cenoura, espinafres, ...!? Espero que tenham gostado desta versão mais saudável de bolo de chocolate! A receita é semelhante à da mousse de chocolate, mas leva farinha e courgete. Com estas quantidades não fica demasiado doce, o que eu valorizo!! Uma ótima semana! |
I will come back with another delicious Sunday cook :D
Stay tuned!!
What is Sunday Cook?!
This Sunday Cook project began with a strong will to contribute to Steemit with my personal view of Portuguese cuisine. I really believe we have plenty of good food. Despite I'm not a professional or nothing similar, I can assure that I'm doing my best, and hopefully, I'm improving my skills too!
On Sundays (cold Sundays), I like to prepare more elaborate and delicious food. It requires time and patience. Usually, I cook some traditional Portuguese food, or at least with Portuguese inspiration :) I try to do it in a healthier way, using the minimum fat as possible, and normally I pick some recipe and transform it. During the week I don't like to spend much time cooking (no time at all), that's why I get totally motivated to cook on Sundays!!
PORTUGUÊS
Eu voltarei com outro SundayCook delicioso :D
Fiquem atentos!!
O que é o Sunday Cook?!
Este projeto iniciou-se com uma grande vontade de contribuir para o Steemit com a minha visão pessoal da cozinha Portuguesa. Eu considero que temos excelentes pratos. Apesar de não ser profissional nem nada que o valha, garanto que tenho feito o meu melhor, e espero estar a melhorar os meus dotes culinários!
Nos Domingos (quando está frio), gosto de preparar comida mais elaborada. Requer tempo e paciência. Normalmente, cozinho pratos da cozinha tradicional Portuguesa, ou pelo menos inspirados na mesma. Tento cozinhá-los de uma forma saudável, usando o mínimo de gordura possível e normalmente pego numa receita e adapto ao meu gosto. Durante a semana não gosto de perder tempo a cozinhar (nada mesmo), e é por isso que me sinto motivada a cozinhar nos Domingos!!

bolo de chocolate e o meu preferido
Está óptimo! Espero que a hora do lanche chegue depressa porque já não como bolo desde o pequeno-almoço!
E eu!! A hora do lanche já foi, talvez amanhã...
Que aspecto delicioso! Nunca fiz um bolo de courgete, mas deve ficar bem delicioso e saudável :) beijinhos
Não se nota nada a courgete e fica bastante húmido :) Obrigada!!
Using zucchini in that cake is such a good idea! I use carrots or pumpkins or zucchini -- or any fruit! I was admiring your 2-D tree before I read you have a post about it from last year. What a great tree! :D
I'm very proud of my 2D-tree! This is the third or fourth year using the same wood pieces (it stays there during the entire year, but we decorate it for Christmas, I love the lights!)
That's so great. Nature can give us so much -- not just food, but sticks for a great tree. That's foraging! :D
I haven't realized it as foraging, but you're right, and it feels great! Merry Christmas Holly!!
Merry Christmas, Liliana! And happy foraging -- of all of nature's bounty! :D
chocaholic ? that makes us two!
that's quite awesome to add some fiber in your choc cake!
way to go using the zucchini Lily!
have you any slice left? :D
Yes I have...two slices only! I'm controlling myself to only eat one a day. Tomorrow and Friday at breakfast I will finish it. About two hours ago I was craving for chocolate, but I don't have any as I'm in a new house, without shops or coffees close...must wait for tomorrow breakfast! I love Christmas, it means Ferrero Rocher season is open for me! :D
haha I get you there :)
Eu adorei a receita! Mas me apaixonei mesmo foi por sua árvore de natal artesanal tão linda, Lili!
Feita com pedaços de madeira que eu e o @rmach encontrámos num caminho florestal. Não tinhamos ferramentas, partimos alguns com as mãos, pés e pernas (era o que calhava) e fomos arranjando os diferentes tamanhos! Em casa atamos com cordel e tem sido a nossa árvore nos últimos 3 ou 4 anos (acho que 4, mas não tenho a certeza). :)
It looks very nice! I'll tell @crissimoes to try one of this!
It seems she also enjoyed the recipe, good luck! Btw, why it's not you cooking it? ;)
Wow, a great and informative post. I love zucchini and who doesn't love chocolate cake?!!! I use zuchhini in a lot of breads. I enjoyed your step by step instructions and all the pics! Very nice.
Zucchini in breads? That's new to me! Thank you :)
Lot of work, but end product is out of sight. My neighbor makes me zucchini bread.
It's not that much work :) Oh, getting curious about that zucchini bread....
Looks so delicious! You must be quite the baker! :)
I like chocolate cakes! thanks for the recipe.
