New York is now home to "The Best Chocolate Cake in the World." That's the claim by chef Carlos Bras Lopez who has brought his famous chocolate cake from Lisbon to Nolita. It's made with Valhrona chocolate and is completely flourless. The cake is constructed with a layer of chocolate meringue, chocolate mousse and topped with a rich chocolate glaze. It can be purchased with 55% cocoa (traditional) or 70% (bittersweet). A slice sells for $6.50 (whole cakes run $35 for the 7'' and $56 for the 11" cake). The shop is also offering toasted sandwiches like Portuguese ham and cheese, and gelato from Il Labatorio del Gelato in flavors like espresso, raspberry and mint. As for the cake, is it really "The Best Chocolate Cake in the World?" We'll let you be the judge.
