Cake at the doorstep is always a good sign that a reason to celebrate is already hidden in the closet, awaiting to yell, ‘surprise!’
And in all seriousness, when it comes to cake, the problem is hardly ever the concern of it going to waste, but rather finding a cake that tastes just as good as it looks.
When in Goa, head to these cake shops to get your dessert dose and satisfy your cake craving sweet tooth.
1. Café Central, Panjim
Come birthday celebrations in office or a simple afternoon sweet snack, there is a reason why Café Central, a local confectionery in Panjim, always runs out of loaves of its eggless chocolate cake on an everyday basis.
When it comes to taste and texture, just one bite or a slice of this chocolate cake won’t suffice, and you will be reaching out for another one before you know it.
Rich, moist, delicious, and yet not overpoweringly sweet, the chocolate cake at Café Central just has that effect!
2. Truffles, Caranzalem
There was once this post on the internet that read, ‘As an adult, we often forget that we can just get into our cars and buy a whole cake for absolutely no reason.’
And, rightly so, the decadent chocolate hazelnut or Ferrero Rocher cake at Truffles, a pastry shop in Caranzalem is where all roads lead when you are craving for more than just a slice of gooey chocolate goodness.
3. Bakers Street, Porvorim
The Lotus Biscoff cake at Bakers Street, a cakeshop and eatery in Porvorim, may be staring at you through the clear fridge door.
But, chances are that you will be disappointed when you try to take it home because it is already awaiting its lucky owner to come pick it up. And, that stands as a testament to just how good it is.
But hey, even though the Biscoff cake may be sold out, there are still plenty of options for you to pick from that taste just as good, if not better!
Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful too. And likewise, very often, the end of a good meal is welcomed by something even better – dessert!
And, while you may think that you have eaten way too much and closed the door to food until further notice, it is only a matter of time until you spot a heavenly choco-glazed cake calling out to you behind the counter waiting for you to take it home. And, it would be cruel to say no to that, wouldn't it?
