This is the undisputed birthplace of the cake, created in 1886 by Heinrich Georg Erbshäuser for the Prince Regent's 65th birthday. While the interior retains a quiet, unpretentious 1980s charm, the cake itself is the gold standard for purists who want the exact historical recipe.

Named after the Prince Regent himself, this café is a Munich institution. Eating here is a theatrical experience, especially if you secure a seat in the glass-domed palm garden. Their version is known for a particularly refined, high-quality dark chocolate glaze.

A family-run business since 1825, Kreutzkamm is famous for its precision. Their Prinzregententorte is lauded for the incredible thinness of the sponge layers and the perfect ratio of chocolate buttercream, ensuring it isn't overly heavy.
