It\u2019s a chocolate ice cream cake with crushed chocolate cookie crumbs and walnut slivers. Packed with heavenly chocolate goodness, this is also light, not at all cloying, and has just the right amount of sweetness. The latter also applies to <strong>White Cake<\/strong>, a dense, delicious chiffon cake with bits of almonds and chocolate and smooth, creamy icing. For the best of both worlds, try the <strong>Strawberry Chocolate Semifreddo <\/strong>\u2013 a pretty dessert made with layers of sponge cake, strawberry and chocolate ice cream, then topped with chocolate and strawberry syrup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8457\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/restaurant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/04\/Calea-3_resized-760x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Calea (3)_resized\" width=\"631\" height=\"850\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">In Calea, it\u2019s almost impossible to pick something you wouldn\u2019t enjoy \u2013 and the prices are ridiculously affordable for such generous, mouthwatering cakes! It\u2019s what makes it perfectly normal for some patrons to get three slices of cake in one sitting.
