This cake is actualy more of a baked chocolate mousse. If you’re a serieus chocoholic, meaning the darker the better, this cake is really for you. The tangy, fruity taste of the blueberries cut through the richness of the chocolate and creates a perfect balance. If you use a stevia sweetened chocolate that this cake has also a low glycemic index value.
