Extremely light and balanced, LUNA’s Orh Nee ($8) cake was a lovely surprise. Crowned with dollops of chantilly cream, crunchy white chocolate pearls, desiccated coconut, and specks of gold leaf; the slice was delicate with a touch of finesse. I love the wonderful play of textures layered between the soft vanilla sponge, with the chunks of yam as well as creamy yam ginkgo paste. The mild earthiness of the smooth puree complementing the subtle sweetness of the sponge. The coconut-infused cream up top also offered a gentle nuttiness and added an airy quality to the cake.
