Lisbon Chocolate Cake
Lisbon Chocolate Cake
Classic recipe, elevated to new heights. Our bestseller in Hong Kong.
Renowned as the world's best chocolate cake, the Lisbon Chocolate Cake originates from Portugal's gorgeous capital city. At 404 Bakery, we take this classic to the next level by incorporating another treasure from Portugal - Port wine. Our secret recipe expertly infuses the ganache part of the cake with Port wine without compromising its texture. This impeccable pairing of Port and chocolate allows both to fully unleash their potential depths of flavour, resulting in a dominant chocolatey taste with notes of musky berries, nutty caramel, and dried fruit. Fear not the cake being too tangy or boozy. In fact, you'll be amazed by how the infusion of port wine enhances the chocolate flavours beyond what you thought was possible.
To balance the intensity, we have devised a special Crème Anglaise chocolate mousse that is rich and creamy enough to complement the port ganache. The cake's texture is further enhanced with a dense yet not heavy, half-biscuity and half-fudgy brownie base. We use the legendary Guanaja 70% chocolate from Valrhona, the world's first "dark chocolate" (with a cocoa content of 70% or above), created in 1986 for this cake. Our Port comes from another legend Warre's, which is the first and oldest British port house in Portugal founded in 1670. Now experience the best of Portugal with our Hong Kong's bestseller - Lisbon Chocolate Cake.

Special features
Warre's is one of the oldest and most respected Port houses
in Portugal, and its wine is known for its rich and complex flavors. Pairing
Warre's Port with Guanaja 70% chocolate creates a flavour synergy that is truly remarkable. The deep, dark chocolate notes of the Guanaja 70% complement the
ripe, fruity flavours of the Port, while the Port's tannins help to cut through the richness of the chocolate, creating a perfect balance.
Adorned with intricate hand-carved patterns on a reddish-brown canvas of Dutch cocoa powder, our Lisbon Chocolate Cake is a work of art that exudes timeless elegance. To top it off, we sprinkle a touch of glamorous gold dust, creating a classic luxury look that complements its irresistible taste.
