Sticky Toffee & Date Cake
MADE FOR THE JOURNEY
In French pâtisserie, gâteau de voyage — literally “travel cake”— describes a family of cakes created to keep well and withstand a journey. Traditionally made without fragile cream fillings or fresh fruit, these cakes relied on ingredients such as butter, eggs, nuts, dried fruit, syrups, and chocolate to remain moist and delicious. Chef Lisa brings together the portability of a gâteau de voyage and the comfort of warm sticky toffee pudding.
THE DATES
Our dates come from Robert Lower at Flying Disc Ranch in California’s Coachella Valley. Chef Lisa had long wanted to pair chocolate with dates, and this cake complements the flavor pairing well. Lisa tested several date varieties, including Medjool and Deglet Noor, before choosing Robert’s Barhi dates. They offer the most caramelly butterscotch flavor of the options, turning the batter a richer, darker caramel color, and are sweet without being overpowering.
HAND-CRAFTED BY OUR KITCHEN TEAM
In 2013, we began creating pastries at our small first chocolate factory on Valencia Street. The kitchen there was so tiny, it barely fit three people: Lisa, Mary, and Roman. Since then, our team has grown, and now we have two kitchens, one in San Francisco and one in Las Vegas. Our team travels the world to explore different cocoa origins, and to visit bakeries, restaurants, and events, seeking inspiration for new recipes that best highlight our single-origin chocolate.
