Cake Run 21: Tous Les Jours Rich Chocolate Cake

 Tous Les What? Don't fret for it is just a French term which literally means "Everyday" in English. Pronounced as "tu-le-juru", it is a bakery established in South Korea and is famous for its artisan breads and cakes that are soft, light and just plain adorable.

Visual: An absolute eye candy that you can't help but want to sink your sweet tooth on it. It has an exterior, toughened up by chocolate with syrup circling around its head, and topped with 3 adorable brown cream chairs, carrying a chocolate wafer that is concluded by a heart shaped biscuit that says "Tous Les Jours". I am perfectly satisfied with the way it looks but I just cannot help but squeal in delight when the brownish cream that resembles a pearl necklace was wrapped around the cake. It is perfection made even more perfect.
                                    

Taste: My TYPE of cake. I love cakes that are creamy, soft and light to the palate. It is my ultimate weakness and turns my senses to goo as soft as the cake's structure. Despite the cake’s seemingly tough chocolate exterior, it is actually quite thin and breaks easily under slight pressure from a teaspoon. Yes, I use teaspoons when eating cakes as this prolongs the pleasure rather than getting an ordinary sized spoon and gulping the cake in one go. But that is just me and different strokes for different people, right people?

As your teaspoon breaks the surface, it will slide down all the way to the middle since the layer after the surface is composed of creamy goodness. It is only in the upper middle portion wherein the chiffon bread becomes visible to halt the sliding of your teaspoon. Chiffon bread is thin, airy and bouncy making me feel less guilty for eating this kind of chocolate cake in the middle of the night. Oops, guilty as charged. I do eat cakes even at the dead of the night.

So what about the adorable toppings that I cannot help but romanticize in the visual portion of this post? Well, the chocolate wafer is just wafer, the heart biscuit is just biscuit, the brown cream seats are yeah, just cream but the chocolate syrup adorned with golden nuts, is the absolute X factor in the equation. The syrup has wine flavor on it or should I call it wine chocolate syrup to make it more appropriate.
