The administration and food of the La Baguette Bistro (located on North May in Oklahoma City and operated by the Buthion brothers) may differ from the cafes of the same name in Norman, but if you’re hunting for fabulous chocolate mousse cake, rest assured that all three locations can help you out. With ribbons of ethereal mousse layered between thin slices of a demure, lightly sweet cake, this delectable combination provides a pleasing solution for someone who loves the airiness of a well-prepared mousse, but longs for a little more substance than that particular treat usually provides. Embellished with a dab of whipped cream, and thin coins and shavings of additional chocolate, the Chocolate Mousse Cake is a wonderful traditional-with-a-twist choice for the chocolate aficionado.
Flourless Chocolate Torte
CAFÉ 501, 501 S. BOULEVARD, EDMOND, 405.359.1501 AND 5825 N.W. GRAND BLVD., OKC, 405.844.1501
Cakes (and tortes) of the flourless variety are difficult to master, and chefs will secretly confide that they are also expensive and labor intensive. The Flourless Chocolate Torte at Café 501, however, is a masterful example of why the effort and expense are worth it, when done right; rich without being too heavy, and with an intense flavor sure to be appreciated by the most serious chocophiles. Topped with a smooth ganache and edged with white chocolate shavings, the flourless torte is a velvety indulgence, sure to become a favorite once you’ve tried it.
