Mumbai’s Most Underrated And Delicious Chocolate Cake

Krsna Daswani

Find yourself craving chocolate cake? Let’s be honest, that’s a rhetorical question, since the answer is and always will be HECK YES! Which is how we stumbled across the most precious little chocolate tea cake at one of Mumbai’s best bakeries; Theobroma.

Meet The Dense Loaf—dense with love, magic, chocolate and just everything else that’s good in the world. The bakery is usually known for their more decadent and sinful desserts (specifically their brownies), but this tea cake’s appeal is distinguished by its effortlessness. The Dense Loaf figuratively “takes the cake” by being deliciously simple; a moist cake made with melted chocolate and...that’s it.

Yet, this unsuspecting loaf is so much more! Let’s get real for a minute, we live in a messy and complicated world. A saviour is what we need, and if in the midst of the chaos that is our lives, is an offering that comes in the form of this Dense Loaf...well, we aren’t going to complain.

The structure of the loaf allows for the cake to be light and airy, while managing to be amazingly chocolaty and gooey at the same time. This spongy creation makes us believe that you CAN have your cake and eat it too! A single loaf is sufficient to satiate you and two of your friends, unless you’re feeling particularly ambitious...in which case, power to you!

The charming bakery is located at eleven different spots all over Mumbai. So DROP whatever you’re doing and rush to your nearest outlet to indulge yourself—or just order it online.

For INR 225 you can have The Dense Loaf a.k.a. the perfect tea time indulgence. Plus, with its loaf-like shape one can almost pretend it belongs at breakfast too.
