I know people love chocolate and others dont like, personally I enjoy more chocolate in bakes , desserts or cakes than pure chocolate bars.
But my son can eat all the chocolate he find(lol) when the other day Esperanza decorated the little pumpkin cakes to Halloween she bring him the little pot to eat the remainded chocolate and he was soo happy!
Anyway this chocolate cake is specially delight because have orange juice in the sauce.
I love the combo, orange/chocolate!!!

Cake de chocolate con salsa de chocolate y naranja
La mayoría de la gente que conozco ama el chocolate pero otros no (y es normal no a todos nos gusta lo mismo) personalmente me gusta más en recetas como cakes, postres etc
Pero mi hijo adora el chocolate , el otro día cuando con la Esperanza hicimos las calabacitas cakes ella ocupó un poco de chocolate derretido para los ojitos y boca.Cuando terminó (le quedaba un poco) se lo llevó a Gerardo ni siquiera me dijo.
Es que los mellizos se conocen muy bien entre sí (por eso se aman y se odian a veces)
El otro feliz en elcomputador comiendose los restos de chocolate.
En todo caso este cake de chocolate es muy bueno, y en la salsa lleva jugo de naranja.
la combinación chocolate y jugo de naranja es muy buena. Esta receta está adaptada de una de

I just had to come back for a slice of chocolate cake, Gloria! It looks heavenly. I love the ingredients. I'm sure the apple/applesauce is one of the reasons for the "low" calories. Does that mean I can have too slices???
