Jaslyn Rangson can do many mouthwatering things with chocolate – brownies, chocolate and salted caramel tarts, and peanut butter chocolate cake. But the salted caramel chocolate ganache cake takes the, uh, cake. Four layers of fluffy, thick chocolate cake, sandwiched with salted caramel chocolate ganache, finished with a shiny, smooth coating of chocolate ganache. It’s sticky, sweet, salty, and all whipped up from a big bowl of 70 percent chocolate, Maldon sea salt flakes and organic flour. Unless it’s your lucky day, you won’t find this cake by the slice at the counter spread; it’s such a decadent mess that Jaslyn only bakes it to order, but who says you can’t have your (whole) cake and eat it too?
RM82 per cake, RM15 per slice
