Daily Recipe: Chocolate Almond Cake

       "I LOVE my treats I get to have. Im not a sugar girl. I love salt, but this recipe is by far one of my favorites since I have decided to give up the junk on a daily basis and live a cleaner life. This is a Chocolate cake that might not be as fluffy and full as a regular cake but tastes just as good!"                   -T. Anderson
