Type O with Husband type A.
Thanks
Nancy

I don't know who has the cake recipe and I really am freaking out about what sort of sweets I can have! I'm super excited about this diet and I'm glad I found this forum. I just have sooo many questions. This is my 3rd day and I know I'm not being perfect as far as eating all of the highly benificial foods but, I am slowly eliminating the toxic ones. May sound a little crazy but I feel better already? maybe it's just the excitement of it all. Gosh, talk about an eye opener huh? I thought I was pretty much doing everything right...such as buying 100% whole wheat everything. Apparently lethal. If anyone has any great advice I would sure appreciate it.

Live well!!

I used to make it for birthdays at a retreat centre, and it was always requested. This is a cake that is not only dessert, but real *food*...

the better your ingredients, the better the outcome.


Bathsheba torte

4 oz. bittersweet chocolate
melted with 2T coffee (brew good coffee)
1/4 lb. unsweetened butter
3/4 c. sugar
3 eggs, separated (whip whites and fold in at end)
1/3 cup ground pecans (you could try almonds too)
1 T. vanilla
1 cup black bean puree (from black turtle beans, soaked and cooked in plain water)

melt chocoalte in a double boiler.
cream butter and sugar. add egg yolks
add other ingredients
fold in whipped egg whites

bake in an eight inch pan at 350 about 45 minutes or until set.

(I used a tort pan with a lift out bottom.)

makes a very elegant, dense, rich cake that stays slightly moist.
Decorate with a few dollops of whipped cream, or just some candied violets.or fresh flowers.

Delicious. and you can only eat a small piece.
this will serve 8.



(i don't drink coffee anymore, so might use decaf.
it just lends a subtle flavour)
