Croquant - A peanut butter cake


If you were to compare this and Manjari Chocolate, the combination is pretty similar. You have chocolate mousse, chocolate sponge, vanilla cream with peanut butter and a layer of hazelnut biscuit.

However, something makes this taste much better than Manjari Chocolate. Maybe it is the order but it gives me the impression that it is fresher since the moisture content is much higher than Manjari chocolate. In addition, the absence of the strawberry jam enhances the overall chocolate and vanilla combination.

Last but not least, although I am not a peanut butter fan but this cake is really nice with the peanut butter. Since the texture of peanut butter is sticky and thicker, it stands out pretty much within the vanilla cream even though the amount is not alot.

I would say this is worth a try. Something different and not too sweet.

This is the first peanut butter cake which i have tried. Chocolate Mousse + Vanilla Cream + Peanut butter = excellent combination. However if you are looking out for rich chocolate mousse, this would be a disappointment. As i mentioned before, Ah Teng's cakes have a milder and lighter taste than other cake shops. Though it is nice, this cake may not curb your cake craving. Nonetheless I would say this cake is worth a try.
