One can never go wrong with the classic chocolate cake but have you tried the Chocolate Truffle flavor? If you have ever heard of chocolate truffles—a type of chocolate candy made of ganache rolled into balls and coated with cocoa powder or melted chocolate, you might love this.

Tiramisu cake is a twist to the classic Italian dessert. Tiramisu is made of coffee-soaked lady fingers layered with mascarpone cream filling and dusted with cocoa powder.
Since mascarpone cream filling is often hard to find at grocery stores, Filipinos found a more accessible and affordable option—cream cheese filling instead—a delicious choice for this decadent-layered cake with rich coffee, creamy, and chocolatey taste.
You can get this Christmas cake flavor at Tiramissyou Manila, a home-based bakeshop in Quezon City. Its cake’s base is made with Savoiardi ladyfingers soaked in Illy coffee, perfectly layered with Virgilio mascarpone, sugar, and cream. The store offers Tiramisu cakes in tubs and beautiful ceramic baking pans, which they call Platitamisu. You may order for delivery thru their online store, https://www.facebook.com/tiramissyoumnl.
