## Nutritional Benefits
While indulgent, the **Chocolate Raspberry Velvet Cake** offers some nutritional benefits:
– **Raspberries:** Rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and dietary fiber, raspberries contribute to heart health and digestive well-being.
– **Cocoa:** Contains antioxidants known as flavonoids, which may help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.
– **Eggs:** Provide high-quality protein and essential nutrients like vitamin D and choline.
However, it’s important to enjoy this cake in moderation, as it is a dessert high in sugars and fats. Pairing a slice with a cup of black coffee or herbal tea can balance the richness and enhance the overall experience.
