Carrot Zucchini Chocolate Spice Cake

We use Dutch Processed cocoa powder for a lot of our baking for two reasons: the first is that we love the rich flavor and darker color better than natural cocoa powder, and the second is the smell is outrageously good.

Chocolate Pots de Crème

We use dark or bittersweet chocolate chips for this recipe and lately, we’ve been using a mixture of half 60% cacao and half 72% cacao.
