Naked Chocolate Cake

The cake looks like they forgot to “put” it on the icing on the sides. Thanks to this, the dessert not only looks original, but also becomes less caloric, since less whipped is used cream. In addition, making the cream yourself can easily control the amount of sugar and replace it with fresh fruits, which additionally serve as decoration. Before the temptation trying such a cake is hard to resist, but reproaching yourself for this weakness is not worth it. The abundance in the dessert of berries, the replacement of ordinary flour whole grains and reduced fat will be good an excuse for a sweet tooth.
