What chocolate dreams are made up of. The chocolate cake was okay, but that layer of chocolate shards, ganache, and cocoa powder was yum AF. ❤️ #lesucrelab #lslchocolatesph #chocolatedreamcake #dessert #sweettooth #chocolate #cake

What makes everyone crazy about the Chocolate Dream Cake are its five layers: an extremely moist sponge base, dark chocolate ganache, chocolate goo, a thin chocolate shard, and cocoa powder dusting. It’s not too sweet as expected so you have no problem finishing it one sitting.
