When 21st century people decide to eat like like cavemen, what's the right birthday cake? I think it must be Michelle Urvater's Rehrucken - that's right, "Chocolate Saddle of Venison" on p. 243 in Chocolate Cake - 150 Recipes from Simple to Sublime. The only alteration required to bring this recipe in line with prehistoric standards was to substitute honey for the sugar. A remarkable recipe this, free of butter and flour, light yet happy-tasting with clove, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Nigella Lawson's Sticky Honey Chocolate Glaze from Feast, page 276, seemed the perfect frosting. I will definitely do this one again, even for people who don't want to eat prehistoric.
If you too want to be leaner, stronger, more energetic just like my 30-year-old friend, google paleo diet and see how she does it.
