Gâteau au Chocolat (GF)

3-texture Magic Chocolate Cake. The chocolate cake that starts it all.

Guanaja 70% created by Valrhona in 1986 is the world’s first chocolate to reach 70% cocoa content, giving 'Dark Chocolate' its name and definition. Coincidentally, after 30 years, it forms the backbone of 404 Bakery’s first chocolate cake - Gâteau au Chocolat. Handmade in limited batches to ensure an artisanal touch in every bite, this gluten-free and cream-free cake boasts an intense chocolatey flavor that is beyond compare.

Our Gâteau au Chocolat achieves a silky texture through a precise mixing technique. The cake has three distinctive textures at three different temperatures. Chilled, it resembles chocolate truffles. At room temperature, the flavor intensifies, and the texture resembles foie gras with contrasting crumbly edges. Warmed in an oven or microwave, it transforms into a light and airy, almost soufflé-like texture with deep roasted chocolatey flavours.

This cake comes with Maldon sea salt flakes and roasted cocoa nibs, optional to serve with. This cake is gluten-free and does not contain any gelatin.
