The Best Chocolate Cake in the World

This afternoon, I went to try The Best Chocolate Cake in the World. At this Nolita outpost, one can find a few savory food items, but ultimately, the reason to venture down to Spring Street is to try the chocolate cake. It is chocolate mousse, layered with chocolate meringue and crispy wafer-like cake. There are two varieties; traditional (55% cacao) and bittersweet (70% cacao). The cake is flourless, yet still manages to be relatively light. Most flourless chocolate cakes are pretty dense, but this is more of a mousse, topped with chocolate ganache, and thoroughly enjoyable. I do love chocolate, but too much of a good thing is just sometimes simply too much. It was very sweet, and very delicious, but a few bites were more than enough for me.
