Making a tasty, perfectly spongey and flavorful cake is no easy feat. Although the recipe can seem simple enough, measurements for the ingredients and knowing how to bake well can make or break your result. By all means, keep working at your baking skills, but it\u2019s also helpful to know where to find the best cakes, including traditional Spanish cake called <\/span>bizcocho,<\/span><\/i> when you need to satisfy your craving. Dessert aficionados tend to know the scene, and are familiar with which shops are worth your time and which you can pass on. In Barcelona, desserts have become as much a trend as they are a snack, with shops featuring beautiful cupcakes and tiny desserts<\/span> decorated with colorful edible decor that make their flavor even better and provide a great photo opportunity. Today in this article from <\/span>ShBarcelona<\/b><\/a>, we\u2019ll be talking about the best <\/span>bizcochos <\/span><\/i>in Barcelona and where to find them. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ingredients for a good <\/span>bizcocho <\/span><\/i>or other type of cake can vary, but the majority of the time they will include <\/span>sugar<\/b><\/a>, yeast, salt, flour and either oil or butter. There are also varieties that require yogurt or milk, and ones whose ingredients can mix with cocoa, carrot, liquor or dried fruit. You can enjoy it with or without frosting or with different fillings once it is baked in the oven. Some <\/span>pastry<\/b><\/a> chefs are capable of creating beautiful desserts that are delicious as well as aesthetically pleasing, which require a level of mastery and technique. The possibilities for flavors and frostings are practically endless, and limited only by the imagination of the chef. While this is not the dish to make if you want something low in calories, you can make a healthier version by swapping out ingredients like sugar with other natural sweeteners, or a typical refined flour for an integral whole wheat flour. You can also take out the butter and substitute it for other ingredients with less salt and fat.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Barcelona there are a number of bakeries and pastry shops that specialize in Spanish<\/span> bizcochos<\/span><\/i>, cakes and pies, but there are a few in particular that we want to highlight. Firstly, there is <\/span>Strada Bakery<\/b>, a pastry shop that offers a variety of <\/span>bizcochos<\/span><\/i> and other desserts<\/span> in the Ciudad Condal. Here, they create and decorate fresh cakes and desserts <\/span>in-house<\/b><\/a> daily, with high-quality and 100% natural ingredients. You can find it at <\/span>Proven\u00e7a 158<\/b>, in the heart of the Eixample district. We promise that if you are close by, you won\u2019t be able to resist trying one of their creations (those on a diet, proceed with caution). Another option is <\/span>Juice House<\/b>, a catering business with a physical location in Barcelona located at <\/span>Parlament 12<\/b>, close to the city center. This business takes care of all the details to make your catered event an amazing experience, with the philosophy that dishes shouldn\u2019t just taste good, they should look it too. Here, you will find delicious pies such as strawberry and basil, lime and avocado and chocolate, as well as muffins with flavors such as decadent carrot. Lastly, we want to talk about <\/span>Orion Caf\u00e9<\/b>, located at <\/span>Gran V\u00eda de les Corts Catalanes, 511<\/b>. Here, you can find so many types pies and cakes you\u2019ll forget that you can\u2019t just take one of everything. A little earthly pleasure to make your day a little better.<\/span><\/p>\n
