Cacao (Chocolate) Pinecone Cake




Cacao (Chocolate) Pinecone Cake
Our cacao cake, recently featured in Bend Magazine, is our decadent, rich and delicious version of a chocolate cake. It is a celebration of Mexico’s flavorscape and ancestral wisdom.
Cacao, vs. cocoa, is the raw unprocessed bean used to make chocolate. It was used by the Mayans as part of their many sacred rituals. We top the cake with a delicious glaze using cacao, mexican cinnamon, mexican vanilla bean, rosita de cacao (a little flower that grows above the cacao in the rainforest), and then sprinkled with tiny chocolate chunks we make using raw cacao nibs, almonds, mexican cinnamon and coconut sugar.
To decorate it, we made these pinecones using cake dough, sliced almonds and then dipped in 80% dark chocolate.
