Chocolate cake

Chocolate cake was a baked dessert made with chocolate.

The Doctor's fifth incarnation once offered to take Peri and Erimem to Barastabon, a planet renowned for their Masterbakers, in order to partake of some of the universe's best chocolate cake. (AUDIO: The Church and the Crown) A later incarnation recalled this event with pleasure. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-A-Boom!)

Evelyn Smythe was herself a Masterbaker of this type of cake, and the Sixth Doctor found her particular recipe delectable. In fact, one of the inducements he used to get her to travel with him was the promise that they would go to Mexico or Havana just to pick up some specialty chocolate for her to use. (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) After her travels in the Doctor's TARDIS had ended, she later told the health-conscious Melanie Bush that the Doctor should occasionally be allowed some chocolate cake as a reward.
