Lemme just try to walk you through our Nesuto experience - the yuzu raspberry cake was the perfect medley of sweet and sour. I’m pretty averse to yuzu and the only yuzu things I’ve enjoyed thus far is BIAP’s yuzu shaved ice and, after today, this yuzu raspberry cake. The sponge was really light and fluffy, so the sourness from the yuzu & raspberry really cut through. YET, it wasn’t an “ew” or “ughhh” kind of sour. This was thanks to the cream in the cake, which was not cloyingly sweet but sufficient to balance out the sourness. The white chocolate bits also made the cake sweeter and helped in the aesthetic department. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone! 💯
The dark chocolate cake was OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH. I say this cos both Kennedy and I love dark chocolate and we prefer our cakes to be rich and dense. This cake fit all our criteria. The special thing about it was that even though it was a sponge cake, it was neither too light nor too dense. It was just right. I don’t know how Nesuto did it cos I’m not a baker, but all I know is they did an amazing job. Highly recommend!!! The prices of their cakes may be a little steep at $9 (minimum) per slice, but it really is a good quality cake that leaves you happy and yearning for more. We paid with burpple beyond so we managed to enjoy it with the 1-for-1 deal.
