Roll out 1 of the halves of dough to round pizza pan size.

4 - 6 organic eggs  - whisk with fork in small bowl..then add to onion/garlic/wine/spinach mixture in pan..stir  with wooden spoon till cooked through ... spoon in cooked brown rice....mix together...and as Chef Ramsey would say.."done!"

1 tsp expresso, ground (organic, no pesticides w/nutrients)

1  organic egg yolk           (no hormones, calcium, magnesium, iron)
1 tsp organic vanilla extract  (no pesticides , b complex, minerals)

PREPARATION:
For the chocolate cake:
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a 1 cup measure, put cocoa powder. Add enough hot water for the powder to dissolve with a fork, and then fill the rest of the cup up with milk.
Combine flour, salt, and baking soda, mixing well with a fork.
Beat butter and sugar, add egg yolk, beating for one minute. Stir in vanilla and combine everything.
Mix for one minute. Turn batter into a buttered 8 x 8 pan.
Bake for about 35 minutes or until cake tests done. Place on a cooling rack.

For a dark chocolate icing:
I usually make a simple gnache (organic dark chocolate and heavy cream with a little organic sugar and vanilla with 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules) melted and poured on top.  Serve with unsweetened whipped cream if you wish.
