After hearing much from friends about Lana Cake and also reading the news that this long established brand name has come out tops in a blind tasting, I could not wait to lay my hands on it.

The sheen from the chocolate is a very appetising sight. Thumbs up for the outlook.

When I bought it, the staff reminded me a few times that it is important to keep it chilled. I was thinking how fast it can melt. By the time I took it home and took it out for photo shoot, it was far from chilled but it was not melting at all. I finally took a bite and I thought, "Normal nice chocolate cake from a good bakery! Nothing special!" In fact, the fudge tasted a little too rubbery. I immediately preferred the Chocolate Origin fudge cake.
The next day, I took it out again. It was extremely chilled. I cut a slice and again, gave it a go. Bam! Wow! It was extremely different from what I had tasted when it was not chilled sufficiently. The cake seemed to have taken on a life of its own - the cold fudge had an ice cream effect. The fudge was slightly firm. When I savoured it, the fudge melted in my mouth. The cake was extremely moist. I was in chocolate paradise. Chocolate has healing properties. A good chocolate cake is able to lift your spirits.
I took it to C and asked C to give it another chance. He also had the same OMG experience.
Lesson learnt - Listen to the staff. He asked me to make sure it was chilled and I jolly well make sure I do it.
