A “Divine” Chocolate Giveaway And A DIVINE Triple Chocolate Cake
I planned on two posts this was going to be the second, the first is a recipe I am developing using Divine Chocolate, well this will be first because I have had some setbacks and the recipe didn’t turn out so it’s back to the drawing board. Stay tuned for another totally DIVINE recipe. The chocolate is fantastic and so is the company, owned and operated by the farmers it is truly a cooperative venture that is a recipe for success. A Fair Trade product of outstanding quality you don’t get better than that.
Who doesn’t love chocolate, well I am sure there are a few that don’t and then there are those poor souls that are allergic. But for the rest of us and speaking for myself there is hardly a day that goes by that I don’t at least have a bite of chocolate. Since I discovered just how wonderful Divine Chocolate is, it’s always in my pantry and is now my go to chocolate for baking and eating, I have partnered with the very lovely people at Divine for a fantastic giveaway, I know you will love this chocolate as much as I do and you will really love this Bakers collection. Open to US residents only I am so sorry my friends abroad!! Just leave a comment here and I will use random.org to pick 3 lucky winners on October 14, see below for directions on how to enter.

What a beautiful delicious cake! What a fun and delicious giveaway!
Thank you I love this giveaway!
Being owned by the cacao farmers takes fair trade to a whole new level. Their chocolate looks amazing, and so does your cake!
It certainly does, thank you so much!
fun!
It really is! Thanks Liz.
Your cake looks absolutely delicious Suzanne – I’ll be trying this one for sure!
Thank you, love that cake.
Yum, I need some chocolate right now 🙂
Thanks Lori, it’s always time for chocolate!
First of all, good to read from you, Suzanne! 🙂
Your triple chocolate cake looks divine! And, hooray for Divine with the capital D because I am all for fair trade products (and for as dark as it gets chocolate!)
Take care
Thank you and me too Stefano, dark dark chocolate is the best and the fact that it’s fair trade makes it that much better.
Making me hungry for chocolate! Nice hearing from you! 🙂
Chocolate, love it all the time, every day. Hmmm….. I think I am obsessed.
PS. Let’s arrange a spinach delivery this month?!
Yes please, and thank you so much.
On yum! This looks absolutely DIVINE (just like the name says, haha). I am a sucker for anything chocolatey and the white chocolate mousse inside sounds incredible. I’ve never heard of ‘Divine’ chocolate but it’s on my list to try from now on (starting with this cake recipe!) xx
Thank you, Divine is just fantastic chocolate. I am sure they must have it where you are.
Good to see you back blogging Suzanne 🙂 I missed your great recipes. The cake looks so tasty! Once I have more free time I will try to prepare it (and probably fail..).
What a pity that the giveaway is only open to US-residents but I understand that a world-wide delivery would be too expensive for them.
Thanks Julian, yes I wish Divine could ship oversea’s. The cake is super simple, you would not fail. It’s really a one bowl cake and the mousse is so easy too. Thanks, good to be back.
BooHooHiss! Me-want-chocolate!
– Actually, in all seriousness I think I’m becoming addicted to chocolate. Just the occasional chocolate-y treat. Like Gather & Graze’s chocolate crackle cookies I made at the weekend. So moreish with coffee. As for your cake – that looks…divine – that wouldn’t last long with me around! Strange, as I’ve never been into chocolate cake before. I’ll be the size of a cute littl’ Pug one of these days 🙂
Thanks Johnny, I so wish Divine would send outside the US, lets exchange baked goods for the holidays, postage can’t be that much to the UK.
Ah, it’s not the postage that’s usually the problem. It’s Customs! They won’t allow certain foods into the country. And that includes seeds.
Oh I see, what a shame. Would be fun to exchange baked goods
Holy amazing! That ganache looks so good! I know what I’m making for my boyfriend’s birthday next week! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. Hope you like!
I wish I could enter this giveaway, I’m really enjoying the delicious chocolate on screen! 😛
Good luck to all! And your cake is fabulous!
Cheers

Thanks Uru, wish Divine shipped to Australia.
I LOVE chocolate! Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate… My little one does as well. We have this thing that we say when we have a piece of chocolate together. “A girl’s gotta have her chocolate!”. That cake looks fabulous Suzanne and I will have to make it with my little Emma. I’ll have to look for Divine chocolates next time I’m in the U.S.
I love it all too, and how adorable what you and your little girl say, it’s so true!! I imagine Divine is available outside of the US as well, you definitely should try to find it. It’s really amazing.
Oh, that cake!
Thank you!
Oooooh the chocolate cake looks amazing and so does the white chocolate layer. Delicious. Never had Divine chocolate, but I’m sure it tastes incredible. For me, dark chocolate is my favorite. I love the strong flavor of it. I find milk chocolate to be too sweet.
The cake looks so rich and gorgeous Suzanne! I absolutely love chocolate cake and the Divine chocolates sound amazing. For me, dark chocolate is my favorite. I’ve always found milk chocolate to be too sweet. I love the white chocolate layer on the cake…yum!
I love chocolate too and love dark, light and in between. Thanks so much!
Those chocolate drips are perfection! Yum yum yum. Also, the packaging of that chocolate is gorgeous!
Thanks very much, yes the packaging is so nice. It’ really stands out!

OOOH! How exciting! I LOVE good chocolate, so I’m in! Your cake looks heavenly! I just made a similar chocolate cake for my daughter’s 16th birthday 2 days ago, but have to make another at the weekend for her party! 🙂
It really is a good cake and the chocolate makes it even better. Thanks Cristina, Happy Birthday to the daughter and best of luck in the drawing,
Oh my goodness, I want some!!! This looks divine! 🙂
LOL, yes Divine for sure. You are entered, good luck with the drawing.
Wow.
Thank you!
Sweet giveaway–thanks!

Thanks you are entered in the contest!
Thank you!
:o)
This recipe looks “divine” We love Divine Chocolate and I would love to bake this cake. I am wondering if you have any suggestions regarding the white chocolate mousse for vegetarians not using gelatin. I have used Agar in the past, but not with white chocolate. I was wondering if anyone has tried this with Agar or Carageen.
Thank you, I have used agar agar before and it works perfectly with white chocolate. I hope you enjoy the cake, thanks for the comment and you are entered in the drawing. I too love Divine!!
What a delicious partnership and what a fun giveaway! And boy oh boy, that cake! Looks almost unbearably delicious and decadent. YUM!
Thank you Azita, it is a Divinely Delicious partnership and for me it’s perfect since I am a confirmed chocoholic!! Thank you the cake is really good!!!
Divine it certainly was, thank you so much!
That is the chocolate cake of my dreams. Any chocolate cake does it for me but this one looks particularly decadent! Wish I could take part in the giveaway – sounds like great quality chocolate…
I wish you could also, the chocolate is so good, great quality, wonderful flavor. The cake is so decadent, definitely a once a year occurrence. Somehow the white chocolate mousse lightens the deep heavy chocolate.
Ohh! What a great giveaway! 🙂
Thank you, chocolate is always a great gift!
Suzanne, this is indeed a divine chocolate cake – just stunning!
Hello Suzanne! Where have you been? Busy with your real estate life? I know the market in the city is totally crazy!!! Or busy mixing and baking new sweet creations? 🙂
Your cake looks gorgeous and so decadent! Just to die for! I have never tried Divine chocolate. I have to admit that I use Italian chocolate most of the times. But since you reccomend it and I know you are all about ingredients quality, I’ll try to find a local store that carries it.
Hi Francesca, I have been so busy not just work,that is incredibly stressful and crazy but community stuff, planning my block party and taking care of the pugs. I too love Italian chocolate but have fallen in love with Divine, excellent quality and flavor. My baked goods taste great. Thanks so much, you are entered in the contest maybe you will wine one of the 3 sets of chocolate and you can give it a try,
Ooh! Lucky US residents! Will try the cake for sure..am always on the lookout for better and better chocolate cake recipes. And teaming it with white chocolate, is absolutely up my alley!
Thank you, I really wish the chocolate could be shipped outside the US. The cake is wonderful, makes a great and very festive cake for the holidays too!
yum!! this chocolate cake is making me droolllll 😛
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
