I took my mother on a trip to Trader Joe’s so she could have
a first hand experience at how amazing the store is (I think I’m creating a
monster!). She picked up a few things
she wanted to try, while a few others that I have shared with her. This particular cake is one of the things she
wanted. I know some of the cakes can be
higher in points than I’d like, so I was skeptical … until I actually had a
chance to look at the nutrition facts.
The cake is a smaller bundt style cake. It’s a pound cake made with ricotta so it’s
super moist. The cake is flavored with
orange (which is infused into the ricotta) and generously filled with
cranberries. There are cranberries on
top of the cake as well as a sprinkling of chopped up walnuts. Taste wise it’s absolutely delicious – moist orange
ricotta cake (if you’ve ever had ricotta dessert you know the moistness I am
talking about), chewy cranberries and crunchy walnuts. Only one word: delicious. So delicious I’m considering experimenting in
the kitchen to come up with my own version of this.
A serving size is 1/8th of the cake, which gives
you a pretty decent size slice. Points
plus wise a serving is only 4 points plus values. The cake is a little pricey - $6.99, but it’s
well worth the price tag, the taste and the points associated with it.
