Aroma, Intercontinental, Singapore's signature... Modern Style Sacher Chocolate Cake

Apart from the Banana Chocolate Cake, this is Aroma's signature cake in which they will recommend all time. Modern style Sacher which consists out of Chocolate sponge, a Crispy layer, Apricot Mousse and Jelly as well as Valrhona Chocolate Mousse.

Some introduction about Sacher Torte, hailing from Vienna in Austria, Sacher Torte was created in 1832 and is dubbed as the most famous cake in the world! This delectable dessert is none other but thick moist chocolate and almond sponge cake layered with apricot jam, and finally coated with rich dark chocolate. Of course, sinfully delicious!

By the time I take pictures of the cakes, upload onto the computer and distribute to my family, the piece of art has loses it foundation and has started to embark its journey to become a Leaning Tower of Pisa. This just prove one point, the chocolate mousse is going to be good.


I like everything about this cake except the sourish taste from the whitish layer which is the apricot mousse and jelly. However, note that this sour taste is only distinct ONLY when you deliberately separate the chocolate from the apricot layer. So this cake settles all cravings for chocoholics if one don't mind the subtle sour taste of the apricot mousse...

By the way, I tried this cake twice, first version - Leaning Tower of Pisa (equilibrated to room temperature) and second version - tall and sturdy like the Eiffel tower (chilled, fresh out from the fridge)... The first was velvety smooth and creamy that I practically licked the plate clean... I am dead serious... The second was appreciating every single layer and that is when I notice the sour portion of the cake... Both taste just as good since the quality of chocolate used is fantastic...

Since the chocolate is so good, I have decided to order a chocolate cake from them on daddy's birthday... In the midst of enquiring for their other cakes, I have the honour of having their Executive Pastry Chef to reply my mail... More incentives to support them. Yummy cakes plus fantastic service...

Since when Singapore hotels disappoint... So far, no...
