**Aztec chocolate**

Enjoy chocolate the same way the ancient Aztecs did! Just stir 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder into 2/3 cup boiling water, and enough ground chiles to make it spicy. The palate-wrenching, overwhelming bitterness of this concoction will make you feel very, very sorry for the poor ancient Aztecs who had to drink the stuff.

Thanks for all the recipes and the health warnings! 😉  
Methinks the best part of baking is when there are many ready and willing taste test guinea pigs around … so I still get to taste a little of the orgasmic chocolate stuff, and after that I distribute all the baked goods away to my delighted friends to prevent further temptation and to share the calories 😃

And yes, the Chocolate Lasagna sounds really interesting!  
P/S: We have a little dessert place here in Kuala Lumpur that serves Mango Fettucine. Definitely for mango lovers.

Tracer’s post reminds me of Mexican Chococlate Cake I used to make. Unfortunately, I don’t have the cookbook handy for the original recipe. But it was basically a standard flourless chocolate cake (Dangerosa’s recipe would be fine) with the addition of coffee, cinnamon, and a ground jalapeno (remove the seeds).
