The Essence of Black Grape

At the heart of Black Grape lies a harmonious fusion of flavors and textures, each layer meticulously curated to provide an extraordinary tasting experience. The cake is lavishly embellished with black grape essence, lending a sophisticated flavor profile that is both sweet and slightly tangy. The inspiration behind this cake traces back to the love for fresh fruits and the creativity to blend them into classic bakery favorites.

Cake Layers and Composition

Black Grape is composed of several visually and texturally distinct layers:

• Sponge Cake Layer: The foundational base is a soft, fluffy sponge cake imbued with black grape extracts. It ensures each bite is airy and light, balancing the richly flavored toppings.
• Cream Filling: A velvety layer of cream, whipped to perfection, is inserted between each sponge layer. The cream has subtle hints of black grape to enhance but not overpower the taste.
• Black Grape Compote: This layer sits gracefully atop the cake. Real black grapes are simmered into a thick, luscious compote that adds a burst of freshness and a glossy finish.
• Mousseline Layer: An exquisite black grape mousseline cream, known for its silkiness and depth of flavor, is generously applied to offer a luxurious mouthfeel.
• Ganache Glaze: A smooth ganache, blending dark chocolate and black grape essence, glazes the exterior, adding a glossy and sophisticated finish.
