We took you on a little tour of our favorite green tea cakes earlier this week. Today, we're checking in on the chocolate cakes!
Chocolate Arc-en-Ciel Chocolate Arc-en-Ciel - This cake is a literal rainbow in shades of chocolate. It's a fantasy for any chocolate lover (especially an indecisive one). From the bottom up, we have a beautiful chocolate cake layered with dark chocolate mousse. Then we have another layer of cake (it's SO good), plus a top layer of milk chocolate mousse. The two types of mousse are full on flavor though texturally light. We finish the cake with a pour of ganache and cocoa powder. It's a winner.
Flourless Chocolate Flourless Chocolate - Stunning in its simplicity and elegance, Flourless Chocolate is one of our sleeper hits. It's rich and pure with no fuss or distraction. This cake features a sunken top (which manages to still look so plush!) lightly dusted with powdered sugar. We use just enough sugar to bring out the deep chocolate notes. It's so moist with a fine crumb, one of the few cakes that are perfect served at room temperature but heavenly when warmed. Bonus: Flourless Chocolate cake happens to be gluten-free.
Framboise du Chocolat - This one is for serious chocolate fans. It starts with a layer of chocolate sponge cake (the same one use in the Chocolate Arc-en-Ciel). The cake is then brushed with homemade raspberry compote. On top, a tower of the richest chocolate mousse in town. It's a real decadent treat. The cake is polished with chocolate ganache and raspberry gelée.
