New ‘Summer Special’ cake launched

The UK’s largest online cake retailer, Sponge.co.uk, has bolstered its line of baked sweet treats with a brand new sponge cake, to celebrate the season ahead.

Sponge’s ‘Summer Special’ is a golden, lemon-infused sponge with vibrant pockets of blueberries, smothered in creamy white chocolate and blueberry buttercream.

The new arrival uses whole blueberries and mixes powdered blueberries into the buttercream, resulting in a vibrant creamy layer that runs throughout the middle and over the top of the cake. The effortless yet enticing decoration is finished with a white chocolate lattice across the top – balancing out the fruity flavours with a rich, creamy sweetness.

Richard Fowler, Head of Sponge, commented: “We are so excited to unveil our tasty new Summer Special this May. It’s a refreshing and delicate sponge – infused with natural lemon flavours and studded with whole blueberries, layered and topped with fresh blueberry buttercream. It’s the perfect treat to make all your favourite summer moments just that little bit better.”

The cake serves eight people and costs £16.75. It is available for consumer and trade customers to purchase through the website.

Those who can’t have gluten need’nt miss out, with a gluten-free option available from the same date (priced at £16.75).
