Now time for my first official cake review, and probably not the kind most of you were hoping for 😏but don't worry we'll get to that soon! Today I was surprised, by a subscriber, with a lot of sweet treats, so I could finally write some content for my blog! Now, among these sweet surprises, the one that I liked the best is Ms. Polly's Chocolate Cake. When my subscriber Akio gave it to me, he told me that I should try it right away because "It's the best chocolate cake you'll ever taste!" It's hard not to believe him because I would totally trust him word on anything about food and because of the promise of this Reason to Believe (RTB - a term used in marketing) stamp on the box:
It has a very minimalist and simple packaging (which I totally dig): a brown carton box sealed with a green ribbon. Aside from the RTB stamp on the upper left corner, you'll also see the brand's logo on the lower right hand corner of the box.
Okay, so enough with the packaging, we can't eat that anyway, right? Let's take a peek inside the box where all the excitement is!
If you'll ask me, the cake's presentation is not that exciting to look at. Personally, it looks too simple to a fault. This is just my personal opinion though. Or it's probably because the mocha lines on top seems out of place, idk. (Yes, those are mocha, not caramel as I've first guessed.)
Getting a slice out of the cake, I was surprised that it has mocha filling inside! I'm not a fan of mocha because its taste is really close to that of coffee's (and I don't like coffee) but for non-coffee lovers like me, the mocha filling was really rich with the consistency of a ganache. What's more, the taste reminds me of my favorite childhood sweet treat: yema! One bite of the cake had me going super kilig! The cake was not that spongy and airy, the icing was so rich that you'll want it to stay in your mouth, the sweetness was just right, and I could go on and on and oooon but to cut it short: it really is the best chocolate cake I ever tasted!
If you guys end up trying this cake out you'll have to let me know how you like it in the comments! Also feel free to comment letting me know which cake I should review next either kind 😏! Thanks again to Akio for sending me this cake to review! Now if you'll excuse me I'm about to dig in!
