Thursday: Vincennes, Gateau Chocolat

Went to Vincennes for a second cake. This time I chose the simple Gateau Chocolat for 356 yen (a sign on the door noted that prices were going up in June). It was definitely good. It is a drier but soft cake, on the range of these types of cakes. If this were a more convenient shop, I might go back, but for now it will just be a backup (they are open until 9 pm).

The second attempt at a macaron-type cake (or at least the biscuit part) worked better this time, although still not quite stiff enough. Also, I'm going to need to center it in the pan, and possibly get a flat baking sheet to get better convention over the entire cake.
