Bittersweet Coffee Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Mocha Dacquoise Cake Dessert Features Almonds and Coffee

— March 22, 2017 — Lifestyle
Cake desserts are often associated with being overtly sweet and creamy, but this Mocha Dacquoise Cake is intended to offer a more bittersweet way to finish a meal. Consisting of baked almond meringue and rum-spiked whipped cream, the Mocha Dacquoise Cake is also infused with coffee in order to add a dynamic flavor that instantly cuts through the sweetness.

The Mocha Dacquoise Cake is topped with a dark chocolate sauce and is best paired with a strong cup of coffee of your favorite variety for a dessert that will satisfy those who don't have much of a strong sweet tooth. The mixture of textures makes it a deviation from other cake desserts out there that focus just on soft or crunchy.
Trend Themes
1. Bittersweet Desserts - Creating desserts that are less sweet and offer more complex flavors, such as combining coffee and almonds.
2. Texture-infused Cakes - Experimenting with different textures in cakes, such as the combination of baked almond meringue with rum-spiked whipped cream in the Mocha Dacquoise Cake.
3. Flavorful Cake Toppings - Exploring alternative toppings for cakes, such as the dark chocolate sauce that is used to top the Mocha Dacquoise Cake.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can differentiate themselves by incorporating alternative ingredients and flavor combinations in their desserts, such as coffee and almonds in cakes.
2. Coffee - Coffee shops can create pairing menus that suggest specific coffee varieties to pair with less sweet desserts, such as the Mocha Dacquoise Cake.
3. Fine Dining - Fine dining restaurants can offer more sophisticated and complex desserts, such as bittersweet cakes, to cater to customers who don't have strong sweet tooth.
