Chocolate cake addendum

Theory: Cocoa is high in antioxidant phenolic phytochemicals (polyphenols), including flavonoids, procyanidin, and resveratrol.
Ingredients: 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/4 cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream.
Method: mix thoroughly until a homogeneous paste is achieved and apply evenly on the face. That's your chocolate facial in just a few minutes! You will have radiant, smooth, moisturized, blemishless skin when you wash your face after 20 minutes.

Oh, there's a mud facial too. In this case also, you will have radiant, smooth, moisturized, blemishless skin when you wash your face after 20 minutes.

Starving African tribes may not be the only people on earth who will never know the difference between chocolate and mud.

Chocolate cake

Siphiwe and Haroon couldn't wait. Mother was making chocolate cake today. They had never eaten chocolate cake before; all they ever ate was dry corn bread sometimes.
The cake came tumbling out of the smoky fire, dark brown and crumbly.
The BBC reporter watched them as her photographer clicked away. Her article was on African families eating cakes made of mud, to stave off starvation.
