A small portion of fine DARK chocolate(at least 70% cocoa) everyday keeps the doctor away. Cocoa is a rich source of antioxidants including the epicatechin and catechin. Flavonoids help relax blood pressure through the production of NO(Nitric Oxide)to reduce the blood pressure.
Well, besides the health benefits, dark chocolate tastes good and serve not only as anti-depressant, but also a stimulant. But heh, avoid eating those sugary nougat or milk chocolate and just go for the REAL DARK Chocolate!

1. Grease a 24-or 26-cm springform pan with 20 grams of butter and line with baking paper. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 180C/350F.
2. Beat the whites slowly with salt until they are frothy, then add in lemon juice to the foam. Salt and acid will help stabilize the foam. Gradually add in sifted icing sugar and continue beating the whites until firm peaks form.
   
3. Gently heat the chocolate and 150 grams of butter in a bowl over boiling water, stirring constantly, until melted. Whisk in espresso powder, ground almond and liquor. Beat egg yolks together with caster sugar and add into the chocolate mixture.
   
   
4. Fold egg whites into chocolate batter in three additions until completely incorporated. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a thin crust has formed on the surface. Remove from springform, cool completely on a wire rack. To serve, sieve the cake lightly with icing sugar and drizzle with vanilla sauce if desired.

The chiffon cake has the richness of the butter cake, and the fluffiness of the sponge. It is prepared with oil(corn or sunflower), eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and flavorings. Chiffon is traditionally baked in a tube pan, but any spring-form pans work good too.

1. In a small pot stir together half tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Heat the mixture over the low fire while stirring until the starch thickens. Set aside to cool. Prepare a deep baking tray half-filled with warm water and place a wire rack atop. Set it on the second lower shelf in the oven. Start preheating to 175C/350F.
2. Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl. Whisk together AP flour, remaining cornstarch, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Combine chocolate and grape juice into a sauce pan. Melt chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally. Place melted chocolate mixture, vanilla extract, egg yolks and vegetable oil in a larger bowl. Whip until completely blended. Gradually sift flour mixture into chocolate mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined.
   
   
3. Beat the whites slowly with a pinch of salt until they are frothy, then add in lemon juice to the foam. Salt and acid will help stabilize the foam. Continue beating the whites and gradually add in sifted powdered sugar when they have almost reached the soft peak. After powdered sugar has been beaten into the meringue and it forms soft peaks, add in cornstarch mixture, beating to firm peaks. Cornstarch helps to keep the meringue firm.
   
   
4. With a rubber spatula fold 1/3 of meringue into the yolk batter to lighten it (unnecessary too thoroughly blended) . Quickly but gently fold the remaining meringue into chocolate batter in two additions, folding after each addition just until no white streaks remain. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10 or 11-inch round pan and place it on the top of prepared tray. (This resembles to a bain marie, ensuring that chiffon cake bakes gently and evenly, without risking water trapping through springform to the cake during the baking) . Bake for 65-75 minutes, until wood pick inserted in the cake comes out clean. Turn on a wire rack to cool. You can enjoy the cake as it is, or with desired sauces or toppings, or slice it horizontally into 3-6 layers to make a cream layer cake.

French Génoise[zhayn-WAHZ; zhehn-WAHZ], or French Butter Sponge Cake, is a light sponge cake developed in Genoa, Italy and adapted by the French.

1. Preheat oven to 175C/ 350F. Grease and line a 28cm heart-shaped or a 26cm round springform pan. Set aside. Melt butter over low heat. Pour into small mixing bowl and set nearby.
   烤箱预热到175C/350F。准备一个28厘米心型模子或是26厘米圆形烤盘，抹油铺纸。小火融化牛油后倒入一个小盆备用。
   
2. Beat eggs, caster sugar, extract and salt in the bowl of stand mixer about 5-6 minutes on high speed until the mixture is lemon white in colour and triples in volume. If you beat the mixture with a hand-held electric mixer, then set the mixing bowl over a pan of simmering water at about 40C/105F. The base of the bowl should not touch the hot water. After the mixture has become thick and pale, remove the bowl and continue beating for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is cool.
   鸡蛋，细砂唐，香精，和盐放到搅拌盆里，高速搅打5-6分钟直到蛋液体积3倍大，色泽为柠檬白。如果你用手提搅拌器，那么准备40C/105F的热水，隔热（搅拌盆不要触到热水）高速打发蛋液至浓稠且色泽为柠檬白后，移开盆继续搅打至蛋液温度凉下来。
   
   
3. Fold the sifted flour into mixture, one third at a time, just until incorporated. Pour about 1 cup of batter into the melted butter, and fold just until combined. Return butter mixture to reserved batter, and fold to combine.
   低粉分3次筛入，每筛入一份，都要拌匀后才添加下一份。取一杯左右拌好的蛋糕糊放到装有融化牛油的搅拌盆里，拌匀后将其拌入其余的蛋糕糊。
   
4. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth batter evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until top springs back slightly when lightly touched. Run a table knife blade around the outside edge of cake, freeing the sides and allowing air to get under the layer. Invert cake onto rack and allow it to cool completely.
   将拌匀后的蛋糕糊倒入备好的烤模，抹平表面入预热后的烤箱烘焙25-30分钟，手轻压蛋糕表面如果有弹性就表示熟了。用餐刀沿着蛋糕里圈滑动，散去蛋糕底部热气晾凉。
