Ok, maybe the word “need” is a little strong, but when we’re really craving chocolate or wanting to make a celebration a little extra decadent, chocolate cake is the answer! Not sure where to get the slice you’re looking for? We’ve taste-tested and reviewed slices of chocolate cake from restaurants in Rochester for you!
The Tap House West End
Crave Food & Drink
Victoria’s Ristorante & Wine Bar
Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake
Price: $9
The Victoria’s Old Fashioned Chocolate cake is classically delicious. It ticked all the boxes for me: moist, a variety of forms of chocolate, and a decent-sized portion. When I first opened up the take-out box I thought it was pretty and a piece I could down myself. I was wrong! It was the perfect size to share with others. It is rich, moist, creamy, and layered. Definitely a solid option for chocolate cake in Rochester! – Erica
Redwood Room
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Price: $7
After living in Rochester for 6 years and saying we will go there soon, this week, I got to share Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake with my sweet husband from the Redwood Room. I got excited to try this out and because two friends’ birthdays were near, I decided to buy two more slices as a treat for them. Maybe it makes me feel less guilty too. 😊
As per the description found online, it’s a chocolate cake, layered with peanut butter mousse, and smothered in chocolate ganache and served with vanilla ice cream.
I love cakes! All kinds of cakes! So when I had the opportunity to review a piece of cake, no one must twist my arm!! I will be honest, I rarely buy cakes in restaurants, as I deal with a nut allergy at home, and so I bake most of all we eat.
The cake was packaged nicely, got home, and enjoyed the ice cream smoothness and the cake. I loved that the icing was not too sweet. I loved that the cake was moist, I also really liked the portion size. I had no idea there was peanut butter in there, as when I ordered the cake it was in person at the bar before reading the menu. I won’t lie, that kind left me bummed out. But my other two friends really enjoyed the cake. – Lucy
