Food Therapy: Two Very Scrumptious Cakes

Scrumptious Cake 1:  Chocolate Blackout Cake

My FAVORITE cake comes from a diner...Brooklyn Diner to be exact. And Brooklyn Diner is not located in Brooklyn but in Manhattan. There are two locations but I usually go to the one at 212 West 57th St (b/w Broadway and 7th Ave). But back to the cake: it's a fabulous, dreamy, perfect Chocolate Blackout Cake. As described by the menu: three layers of moist, rich chocolate cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate butter cream frosting. It's the perfect ratio of chocolate cake (which really is moist), chocolate ganache and chocolate butter cream frosting. When I have a craving for this cake, NOTHING else will do. My bf has learned this the hard way. ;) If you are a chocoholic, you must try a slice of this chocolate perfection.
(Note: Picture to follow. Yes, that means I'm going to get a slice soon!!)

Scrumptious Cake 2:  Mille Crepes Cake

A close second is the Mille Crepes Cake from the gourmet patisserie Lady M Confections, which is located at 41 East 78th St (Madison Ave & Park Ave). The Mille Crepes Cake consists of approximately 20 layers of thin crepes layered with an "ethereally light and creamy custard." It's light and fluffy...and just sort of melts in your mouth. If you're throwing a dinner party, this is an impressive-looking/unique cake that will please almost everyone. It's not too sweet nor too heavy.
