Dishes with chocolate base are beneficial
Scientists from the USA conducted a study. Can a piece of cake for breakfast increase memory and does regular consumption of chocolate products have a positive effect on your figure? It turned out that this theory was confirmed by volunteers aged from 23 to 98 years.
During the experiment, these people ate a small piece of chocolate confectionery every morning, and the scientists recorded the state of the body. As it turned out, the experimental subjects had enhanced cognitive processes, improved memory and better abstract thinking, while their weight remained the same as before the experiment.
But here, too, we should not forget that the brain needs increased nutrition only until 9 am; later, most of the chocolate eaten is deposited in the fat mass.
So, if you want to have a good memory, develop your cognitive processes and improve your mood in the morning, do not deny yourself the pleasure of eating chocolate cheesecake or at least a piece of it, be sure to try the recipe given above. And if you also experiment with the jelly layer and cream options, the proposed baked goods can be varied for each new breakfast and filled with an unusual combination every day.
What is important to remember when making a cake?

- It is better to use bitter chocolate, although this is not for everyone.
- Baking powder can be replaced with soda.
- Before mixing gelatin with sour cream, it must be cooled thoroughly.
- Dishes with gelatin improve metabolic processes in the body, strengthen nails and hair.

Many people don't know how to handle it correctly. A little advice: it is advisable to extinguish the soda in advance with a small amount of citric acid or vinegar. It will be less effective to do this in sour cream.
Next, to prepare the dough for the cheesecake you will need:
- Use a number of ingredients, namely cottage cheese and cocoa powder. Combine them into a homogeneous mass, then add flour.
- The dough must be placed in a pre-oiled form.
- Baking the cakes takes no more than 30 minutes. The oven temperature should be from 180 to 190 degrees. After this they are cooled.
- Cut the cakes into two parts. If you can see that the sponge cake rises well and quickly, it can be divided into three parts.
There will be more than enough cream, and the cake will be perfectly soaked.
Preparing the cream
Its basis will be semolina and semolina porridge cooked in milk.
To do this you need:
- boil it, cool and add two small lemons - be sure to grate them along with the zest;
- add sugar and softened butter to the porridge;
