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 capital city. At 404 Bakery, we elevated this classic recipe by incorporating another treasure from Portugal - Port wine. Our secret recipe infuses the chocolate ganache with Port wine without compromising its texture. This impeccable pairing results in a deeply 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 to a whole new level.

To balance the intensity, we have made a special Crème Anglaise chocolate mousse that is rich and creamy enough to complement the port ganache and 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.
