On 1/6 Dr. LJ Rose appeared on The Daytime Show today demonstrating how to make Raw Flourless Chocolate Cake.

"The hosts loved the cake and creme sauce so much they came back for seconds!" Dr. Rose says. "There was also a nutritionist on the show and she stuck around so she could also taste after the show (I left the rest of my cake for the crew)."

"Thank goodness I have the one in my food processor still for Jeff," she added, "He doesn't like to share his raw desserts!"
