What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Write a recipe for a chocolate cake."
Answer
The provided Ellen White excerpts do not contain a chocolate cake recipe. They encourage simple, appetizing food made from wholesome ingredients and caution against rich cakes. White also wrote that cake was seldom served at her table. The recipe below is a modern application of those general principles, not a recipe attributed to her.
Preparing appetizing food
»Those who do not know how to cook hygienically should learn to combine wholesome, nourishing articles of food in such a way as to make appetizing dishes.«
A caution about rich cakes
»There is also much time spent in needless cooking, in the preparation of rich pies and cakes and other articles of food that do positive injury to those who partake of them. Should our sisters provide good bread and some other healthful kinds of food, both they and their families would be better prepared to appreciate the words of life, and far more susceptible to the influence of the Holy Spirit.«
White’s own table
»No butter or flesh meats of any kind come on my table. Cake is seldom found there. I generally have an ample supply of fruits, good bread, and vegetables.«
Simple chocolate cake
Ingredients: 1½ cups flour, ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup water, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Method: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square pan. Mix the dry ingredients, then stir in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla until just combined. Pour into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool before serving.

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
