Our signature—and most sought-after—dessert at Ovenly is our Brooklyn Blackout Cake. It's a black-as-night, chocolatey, bittersweet cake that is a party favorite.
The Ebinger Baking Company, an iconic baking institution from Brooklyn, is credited with first making the Brooklyn blackout cake, which has had a resurgence in popularity in our neck of the woods. Being Brooklyn-based ourselves, we decided to take a stab at our own version using our Salted Dark Chocolate Pudding. Instead of the traditional devil’s food cake, we make our stout cake with Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout and almost-black, dark Dutch-process cocoa powder, which is richly bittersweet. Once our cake is baked, we add salted fudgy pudding into our base buttercream and then thickly layer it on the cake. This cake, we hope, is as memorable as its bold predecessor.
