Whenever I'm in the mood for serious chocolate, I know where to go. Eatzi's. The name of the cake: Chocolate Oblivion. They sell them whole, but often they will have individual slices in the refrigerated case or they have single serving mini-cakes in the bakery case. Imagine a bottom layer of moist (sorry Jerod) chocolate cake topped with a thick layer of creamy chocolate mousse and finished off with chunks of Toffee and caramel sauce.
I recently purchased this cake for a department event and was quite amused by the reactions to it. It reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from the movie Chocolat, when they are celebrating Armand's birthday. In slow motion you watch the group savor the delicious meal that Vien has prepared for them; a truly sensual experience.
So, if you live in Dallas or Chicago, you may also satisfy your inner chocolate monster. In Dallas Eatzi's is located on Oak Lawn just south of Lemmon, in Chicago it is located on Clark just north of Diversey. They have a wide variety of other gourmet foods that are delicious as well, but none quite as noteworthy as Chocolate Oblivion.
