This cake is so light and gooey to eat and rich with chocolate and caramel.
Due to it being made with a vegetable, it is much lighter in calories then other chocolate mousse cakes without losing any of the flavour or texture. It has no butter or flour in it.
All the indulgence and not the calories of it’s traditional counterpart. Traditional is 577 calories and this 245 🙂
