The recipe for the Ritz-Carlton Cake was developed as part of a challenge to Ritz-Carlton pastry chefs around the world, which asked them to put together a dessert that represented the brand's heritage.
22 Ritz-Carlton hotels participated in the challenge and the winning cake that will now become a signature dessert for the brand was revealed earlier this month.
The cake uses classic, but easily-accessible ingredients to celebrate the history of Ritz-Carlton. This includes decadent dark chocolate and orange, delivering a balance of sweet and citrusy flavors, literally providing a taste of the brand's excellence. The new signature cake is now available at all Ritz-Carlton hotels and comes beautifully packaged, should patrons want to give the cake as a gift.
