BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Chocolate AND
BEER CAKE
T 8
his delicious cake proves you can never have too much of a good thing, combining heavenly dark chocolate with just-the-right-amount-of Canadian craft beer. Perfect for rounding out a holiday meal or an après ski evening, this cake's quick prep and cooking times mean you can make it shortly before guests arrive and let it cool while entertaining. As a bonus, you only need a quarter cup of the beer for the recipe, so sip the rest yourself for a relaxing start to a great get-together. >>>
HEALTHY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE WINTER ALE CAKE PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 20-25 minutes SERVING SIZE: 8
INGREDIENTS • 1/2 CUP (170 g) Grass-fed Butter or Coconut Oil • 4 OZ. (115 g) 70% Dark Chocolate • 2 Large Eggs • 1/4 CUP (85 g) Cocoa Powder • 3/4 CUP (180 mL) Honey • 1/4 CUP (60 mL) Granville Island Brewing's Lion's Winter Ale • 1 TSP (5 mL) Vanilla • PINCH of Salt
DIRECTIONS • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan generously with coconut oil or butter. • Melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until completely smooth. You can use a double-boiler for this, or you can melt the chocolate into an oven-safe bowl in the oven for about 4 to 5 minutes. • In another small pan bring the beer and vanilla to a soft boil. Reduce to low and slowly add in the beer mixture, then the chocolate and butter mix until well incorporated. Combine with cocoa powder, honey, and eggs. Whisk well until a smooth batter forms. Pour batter into the greased pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the centre looks firm. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove from the sides - you'll appreciate the spring-form pan in this step. Allow to cool completely before serving. THN www.newscanada.com

WHY ME? I have been selling real estate in Toronto since 2003 and without a doubt I have found my calling. When you love what you do, it isn't work. There are so many aspects to selling real estate that I love but first and foremost, it is my clients. I am a people person and love the personal interaction and connections that I form with my clients. It is so much more rewarding than a SOLD sign. When assisting buyers, there is absolutely nothing more rewarding than helping them find their dream home. And when I assist sellers, the reward comes in being able to achieve a profit for them they never thought possible. I believe that a home is where you live, love and grow and I will not let you make a bad decision. It's too important. I have put together a team of professionals that work along side me in order to achieve this. I strive to make the process of buying and/or selling a home as stress-free for you as possible. I believe strongly in charity work and giving back to the community and I put almost all of my fundraising energy in to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I also donate a portion of every sale to the Children's Miracle Network and am a major sponsor at my two daughters' school. I believe that if you do the job right, if you do it with passion and integrity, your clients will be thrilled and that is the best advertisement of all. I have earned a spot in the top 1% of all RE/MAX Realtors in Canada based almost solely on referrals and word of mouth. There is no greater compliment or honour than clients referring me to their family and friends. I am grateful for the trust and respect.
