There are many reasons that death by chocolate cake is such a popular dessert, but one of the main reasons is that it has a rich, creamy chocolate flavour.

Is chocolate gluten-free?

Most chocolate is gluten-free, but there are a few exceptions. Check the labels on any chocolate you purchase to be sure it doesn’t contain gluten. 

Some brands of chocolate that are known to be gluten-free include Scharffen Berger, Ghirardelli, and Lindt.

Is chocolate healthy?

Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, which are a source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are essential for good health because they help to protect cells from damage. 

Cocoa beans, the main ingredient in chocolate, also contain flavonoids, which have been linked to lower heart disease and stroke rates.

So, overall, chocolate does have some health benefits. However, death by chocolate cake also contains sugar and fat, which should be consumed in moderation.
