The cake features an array of eight ingredients, including luscious chocolate and ripe fruits, carefully crafted to ensure a rich and delightful tasting experience. The combination of a crunchy texture, aromatic chocolate, sweet-and-sour fruits, and the nutty flavor of pistachios come together to create layers of complex flavors that evolve with each bite.

A Chocolate Experience Like No Other

Minimal takes great pride in sourcing high-quality cacao from diverse regions, which is reflected in the three exquisite types of chocolate used in the Stollen-inspired cake:

- Peru/Chuncho (90% cacao, coarsely ground) - This chocolate accentuates the floral notes of cacao, expertly crafted into the cake and used in marzipan and chocolate chips.
- Peru/Apurímac (75% cacao, coarsely ground) - Known for its distinct blackberry flavor, this chocolate adds depth with its unique berry notes to the cake.
- Tanzania (70% cacao, coarsely ground) - This subtly fruity chocolate enhances the cake's overall flavor profile, making every bite a pleasurable experience.

The harmonious fusion of these chocolates allows the fruity aromas to mingle beautifully within the cake, progressively intensifying its richness over time. Enjoy the cake as a delightful accompaniment to the holiday countdown, and appreciate how its flavors deepen as Christmas approaches.
