CAKES are always present in every celebration, no matter how grand or simple. Sometimes, a slice of cake is enjoyed for a casual snack. There is just something about the sweet mixture of flour, eggs, milk, butter and sugar that excites people. Changing the game a little bit, check out these out-of-the-box cakes that will make one’s “cake-perience” a more memorable and refreshing one.
Sugar-free Dream Cake (@loveeatlowcarb)
Eat to your heart’s content minus the guilt with this Sugar-free Dream Cake. This lovely piece is made with rich and decadent chocolate layers, topped with almond flakes, adding an extra crunch, and rose petals for that gentle kick. The bottom layer of the cake is rich in fiber, which supports slower breakdown of carbs. Aside from the unique fact that it is sugar-free, the cake is also “blood sugar friendly”—none of the ingredients used will cause rapid blood sugar spikes. This cake is a perfect balance of sweet and bitter, definitely satisfying one’s chocolate cravings without hurting one’s throat. The Coffee, Matcha and Dream Cake Deluxe with Philippine Malagos Chocolate cakes are also must-try options.
Caviar Cake (Cafe Saree)
Though cake is usually the last food item served during a meal, this luxurious take is the kind of cake you can start your meal with. Enjoy this mix of eggs, pickles, spices and mustard as base, then topped with cream cheese and spices. Finally, the whole piece is perfectly covered with black caviar, and each elegant layer is garnished with lemon. This delicate, rich, savory and fancy cake will surely make any festivity a lavish one. Don’t forget the wine to complete the posh meal!
Durian Cake (Dessert Studio & Restohaus)
Some may hate this “King of Fruit” because of its pungent odor but its sweet and savory meat makes the best main ingredient for a cake. The cake is moist and dense. It is covered with a delicious frosting formed as a durian’s husk, covered with stout spines, penduncle and cream-colored pulp, making it look like a real Durian fruit. Though it is mixed with other typical cake ingredients such as milk and butter, the durian flavor still cuts through which lovers of the fruit would surely appreciate.
Avocado Cake (Dessert Studio & Restohaus)
Avocados are no longer just for your guacamole but also for your cake. The good thing about avocados is that these can be used as the primary ingredient replacing conventional fat in baking like butter and oil. These make the frosting and the cake layers richer and more buttery. Since this fruit is packed with vitamin E and essential fatty acids, this cake will surely keep your skin looking young and feeling soft. Take note, you can eat the realistic avocado seed, too! (S)
