The Chocolate Cake

This chocolate cake is just amazing and is made with inspiration from a recipe from Womensync. During the luteal and menstruation phases, us women usually crave that chocolate. That’s when this cake came into the picture. We crave that chocolate most often because we have a raised metabolism during this phase, also craving more magnesium, which can be found in cacao. Although eating a diet rich in added sugars, ultra processed foods and creating a unbalanced bloodglucose can increase someone's PMS symptoms and menstruation cramps. Hence, we wanted to share this amazing recipe that is filled with nutrients and feel-good ingredients for a balanced and healthy menstruation cycle.
