This is a healthy snack cake recipe that was created and suitable for diabetics or anyone looking to keep their heart healthy and happy. It’s moist and deliciously chocolaty with a lighter touch of coffee. The bittersweet (or other dark) chocolate is far more better for you than milk chocolate and has, in fact, good health properties of it’s own.
