Lenôtre: Carré Orange

After a long day of work, caught Lenôtre on their last day at Isetan. Only two fresh cakes left, but one was their specialty, which is great, and the other was the one that I was most interested in, the Carré Orange, which I got. This cake seems to be what you see is what you get, though I wouldn't be surprised if there is something that makes it somewhat granular, like finely chopped coconut, not that I noticed a particular coconut taste. Plenty moist despite not having any hidden cream, jelly, or sauce. I probably wouldn't want this kind of cake a lot, as I like my decadent cakes with chocolate sheets and nuts, but I enjoyed the change and will call this excellent, so the shop remains a challenger to the bottom of the quite exceptional cakes.

Running was neighborhood loops out east, same as last one, and I successfully did the same four counterclockwise, but I revised the largest one to use a path provided by the Mori building to cut the southeast corner.
