By Allain Dumon Fonte If I am to choose between “sex or chocolate”, the obvious choice is chocolate. Who would choose sex over chocolate? Everybody loves chocolate! Thanks to Dr. James Baker who discovered how to grind cocoa beans in 1764. This started the chocolate revolution. Now, chocolates have evolved from drinks to cakes. The Baker Chocolate Company history book by author Anthony M. Sammarco Speaking of chocolate cakes, my friends know how I love them and how picky I am with chocolate cakes. I want them smooth and silky to just slip from my lips to tongue and down to the throat. They must be sweet enough to tickle my taste buds but not too sweet to hurt my tonsils. I also like my chocolate cake to be soft and tender that they melt in my mouth. Most of all, I want my chocolate cake to be very moist. It is quite challenging to find the perfect chocolate moist cake. In my pre-pandemic travels, The Le Don Bock in Rue Dancourt in Paris has a chocolate moist cake that brings happy thoughts in every bite. During the lockdown, I craved for Le Don Bock’s chocolate cake; until I found a chocolate moist cake in Cebu that satisfied my cravings. It has ticked every criterion in what I am looking for in a perfect chocolate cake, and it is Beanleaf Coffee and Tea’s chocolate moist cake. Beanleaf Coffee and Tea’s staff slicing the café’s renowned chocolate moist cake. Beanleaf Coffee and Tea’s chocolate moist cake is a must try if you are in Cebu City. From the taste to the softness, and to the silkiness, Beanleaf Coffee and Tea’s chocolate moist cake will surely raise the bar higher on chocolate cakes.
