Chocoholics will find themselves in seventh heaven right in the heart of Switzerland. In Bern, the birthplace of chocolate, those with a sweet tooth will think they have arrived in paradise. Where can the best chocolate cake be found?

If Bern had a queen of chocolate cakes, then the chocolate-almond cake from Apfelgold would be the strongest contender. Ultra-sweet, ultra-rich, ultra-delightful – it’s like a box of chocolates turned into a cake. Indeed, even the most passionate chocoholics fondly refer to this tempting treat as “d’Bombe”. This Bernese favourite is served on vintage gilt-edged porcelain plates, while shelves full of linen-bound books invite guests to linger and savour the experience. It is like a dream that you wish would never end!
