This Trader Joe’s Cake Is Perfect For Getting You In The Christmas Spirit

As each and every year passes, we are inevitably filled with a little bit of a dread and fear that Christmas and the holiday season will no longer have the same magic as it did in our youth. But, it’s my belief that it can continue to be just as special as long as you allow yourself to participate in all of the same pieces of festive magic that brought us joy as kids.

As food writers, I’m sure we are certain to just have a certain propensity for our memories of big significant events in our lives to be defined by the foods that accompanied them, but it’s a notion that I’m sure a lot of you all can share as well. Holiday food is not only a huge part of what makes the season so special, but it’s also deeply exciting due to the nature of it being ever-changing and growing in the commercial space. 

And it is our joy here Sporked to be able to bring you the news of the new seasonal items that are joining the market each and every year. Ultimately, that’s exactly what we’re here to do today. Trader Joe’s just released their newest holiday cake to their extensive seasonal collection, and we think you ought to know all about it.

A Jubilant Time To Shop At Trader Joe’s

This holiday season, Trader Joe’s seems to be all about the cakes. From their all-new Gingerbread Mini Sheet Cake to the Chocolate Peppermint Loaf & Baking Mix, they are making it as easy as possible for you to get a seasonal cake that suits your tastes with ease. And, the newest addition to that collection is the Jubilant Tree Cake. Although it looks similar to the Swedish Princess Cake they began carrying over the summer that quickly went viral, the looks are pretty much where that comparison ends.

This Belgian confection is supplied to Trader Joe’s and is here to fulfill that European pâtisserie festive dream for us. The elaborate cake that is shaped and decorated to look like a Christmas tree resembles something along the lines of an entremet due to its layers of mousse, fruit, and different spongy and crunchy layers.

It starts with a delicate butter crumble crust on the bottom, providing a base for the berry filling. On top of the bright layer of fruity goodness is a layer of tender sponge cake and a thick layer of chocolate mousse. The top is then coated with a layer of pistachio cream, giving it that green hue, and a drizzle of dark chocolate as well as crushed freeze-dried raspberry pieces.

Perhaps the best part about this cake is that it doesn’t require you to do pretty much anything. It’s sold frozen, so as long as you’ve given it the time it needs to defrost, then it’s already to enjoy straight up. We can’t wait to see if this cake is actually as good as it sounds, so stay tuned here for our official Sporked review.
