  • .> NOTES<
  • .* The FLOUR content can have half of it replaced by another flour like: whole wheat or spelt flour.
  • .** The CHOCOLATE pastilles I use are from the French Chocolate house of Michel Cluizel. My preference is a 65% bittersweet cacao from Madagascar.
  • .*** The OIL content can be lightened by replacing half by an applesauce or prune purée.
  • .**** Cointreau LIQUOR can be substituted for: Grand Marnier, Orange Brandy, Marie Brizard-Orange Curacao.
  • . Although the Cointreau liquor gives this cake an extra depth...one could also substitute it for a... NON-ALCOHOLIC choice: would be to put very concentrated Orange juice.
