From Worst to Mediocre...

November 26, 2010 – After being disappointed with what we had at Bake and Churn, we looked for something better to have as dessert after dinner. We saw a recently opened shop named Bean and Baker and bought a slice of Chocolate Blackout Cake. Their specialty is Blueberry Streusel Cheesecake but I didn’t want to have that because I myself can make it well.

  Chocolate Blackout Cake – Php110

The Chocolate Blackout Cake is composed of an approximately 2 by 2 slice of chocolate cake with rich chocolate icing on top, sprinkled with small bits of sliced brownies with some nuts on it, and finally drizzled with chocolate and caramel fudge.

The base of the cake lacks moisture but the sweetness is just right. The chocolate icing adds a little moisture into the cake and it put in additional chocolate flavour as well. The brownie pieces on top were unnoticeable once you pop the cake in your mouth, in short, it is just a decoration. The fudge topping adds sweetness into the cake and makes it somewhat gooey.

Overall, the Chocolate Blackout Cake was alright but it is just an average cake. There is no element in the cake that will make one go back to the store and buy another piece of it.

My Rating:

     Chocolate Blackout Cake - 4/10
