Dovetailing Seattle’s loves of mason jars and refined spins on sweet American standards, Hot Cakes offers argument that dessert needn’t be an afterthought. Hit the Ballard or Capitol Hill cakery and try one of the eponymous molten cakes (chocolate, peanut butter, hazelnut), a chocolate pudding topped with olive oil and sea salt, or one of their boozy shakes. Broodingly dark chocolate flows freely here and fittingly, for few in Seattle take dessert so seriously.
