Welcome to another episode of Cake Run. For today’s treat, I will revisit one of the classic bakeries in existent here in my locality. After all, who says that only modern bakeries deserve a chance to get featured in online media?
The Bakeshop is well known for its Mango Bravo which up to now, I still think is the best mango crème sansrival I have ever tasted. But for this entry, I will tackle their other cakes which are quite good but garners less attention in comparison with the Mango Bravo.
Cake Number 1: Choco Almond Sansrival
Visual: Normal looking cake with bread and cream on top but still looks delightful as it gives a soft appearance from the topmost layer to the bottom. The Almonds reminds me of grated cheese on top of an entree of your favorite pasta.
Taste: Almonds are crispy and I just love the combination with the chocolate cream coating. The light brown top layer is soft, creamy and not too sweet. Bottom layer is composed of a sweet yellow pastry filling which you will only notice upon tasting, and tastes similar to the fillings used in éclairs and cream puffs.
However, I have yet to find a sansrival out there wherein the crispiness texture is preserved despite the layers of cream.
Cake Number 2: Chocolate Tiramisu
Visual: I love the brownish round thorns sprinkled with cocoa powder. It kind of reminds you of someone with tough looking personality but who has a soft spot deep down. Layering is divided into components: cream and coffee breading. Taste: Breading is soft as expected from all tiramisus but I like that the taste of the breading does not differ across all layers. From past experience, I have encountered tiramisus especially when it was just making its debut into the regular bakeshops, wherein the breading on top is soft and just have the right amount of light sweetness then once you reach the bottom, the texture becomes soggy and too sweet. X-(
Powder coffee is nice but quite normal for all tiramisus. The powder however, provides quite a treat to the taste of the cream that holds the cake structure together.
The three layers of cream and coffee flavored breading made me choose between eating it daintily or shoving it roughly in large amounts. Whatever your preference is, you still get a complete taste of this soft treat whether you eat it in small amounts or large chunks as the first layer of cream and coffee is just being repeated on the latter two layers.
Have a Sweet Day! Feel free to comment and share your thoughts on the comment box below.
