CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE

Chocolate Mousse Cake

INGREDIENTS

For cake
Non-stick cooking spray
1 cup almond meal
1-2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
5 egg whites
3/4 cup (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

For chocolate mousse
1 pound 1-1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the almond meal, confectioners’ sugar, flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and melted butter. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared springform pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cake springs back when gently pressed and the edges have pulled away from the pan. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Remove the cake from the pan. Use a serrated knife to trim the top of the cake, so it is even. Line the springform pan with plastic wrap and return the cake to the pan.

For the mousse, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with 1 inch of simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate has melted. Stir in the vanilla extract. Cool to room temperature.

Use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream until it has stiff peaks. Fold the chocolate into the heavy cream until it is fully combined. Spread the mousse over the cake. Cover with plastic wrap without touching the mousse and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.

Let the cake sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator.

It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money. This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit. Prepare Before You Begin Trading Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you. A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market. Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading. The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time. All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not. Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket. Diversify and Limit Your Risks Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are: Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea. Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses. Be Patient Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies. In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!
