Cake, vanilla, moist, finely crumbed, yet dense, filled with black currants and topped with a bittersweet combo of cream cheese, heavy cream, and chocolate is delectable, especially with a nice moscato rosso.

Cake, chocolate, just the moist side of dry, finely crumbed, not dense, filled with fresh cherry compote and topped with a simple unsweetened cream with the slightest hint of vanilla. Pair this one with a Riesling or Gewurtztraminer.

Cake, chocolate, soaked through with chambord, topped with raspberry-infused barely chocolate butter creme. A light raspberry cocktail pairs well with this.
