What better excuse to eat chocolate cake than to celebrate
National Chocolate Cake Day? On January 27, people across the nation will be. It's
time to treat yourself and enjoy a delicious dessert. Here is a list of five
places in New Orleans where you can enjoy some of the best chocolate cake. However,
you can still enjoy the holiday in the comfort of your own home. You can make a
chocolate cake, or even prepare one from a box mix. Grab your forks, friends,
and family, because National Chocolate Cake Day is not a holiday that should be
celebrated alone.
Chophouse
Chophouse
is a highly rated steakhouse in New Orleans. Founded by two Tulane University
graduates, Chophouse offers quality meat with an intimate dining ambiance. With
so many steak cuts and seafood options to choose from, if you have room after
your meal, you have to order the Gigantic Chocolate Cake. This piece of cake is
to be shared with the whole table and comes with vanilla ice cream. In between
the many layers of chocolate cake are thick layers of chocolate frosting. You
will be needing an extra glass of water.
Bittersweet Confections
Bittersweet Confections
is famously known for decorating wedding and birthday cakes, but they also have
some sweet treats for purchase. If you want to spice up the chocolate cake
holiday, purchase one of Bittersweet's chocolate king cakes, which has been
awarded "Best King Cake" four years in a row. There is a chocolate king cake
filled with chocolate cream cheese and iced with a dark chocolate ganache or
the Bittersweet king cake that has a layer of chocolate mousse with dark
chocolate truffles on top. Bittersweet's chocolate king cake allows you to celebrate
the national holiday and king cake season all in one bite.
Breads on Oak
Everyone should get a chance to celebrate National Chocolate
Cake Day, even those with dietary restrictions. Breads on Oak is a bakery
located in Uptown that focuses on delivering organic, plant-based meals. This
even includes their desserts. At Breads on Oak, you can get a vegan German chocolate
cake. This can be for anyone, even if you just want a healthier version of the
dessert. They also offer a plant-based chocolate king cake if you want to
celebrate Carnival as well.
Willa Jean
Famously known for its milk and cookies, Willa Jean
offers a variety of baked goods and desserts. These can be ordered while dining
in or are good for takeout. Although the restaurant is popular for its
breakfast and brunch, it's never too early to enjoy a slice of chocolate cake.
Prepared daily, the chocolate cake is fast to go, so make sure to place your
order early.
Superior Seafood
Chances are that you have been to Superior
Seafood, for their
Happy Hour drink and oyster specials or just for a tasty meal, but you might
have skipped out on their dessert menu. Their flourless chocolate cake is served
with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with vanilla bean caramel sauce and
raspberry compote. Superior Seafood never disappoints, and neither will their
decadent chocolate cake.
