Trader Joe's Mini Triple Chocolate Bundt Cakes are petite chocolate cakes, covered with a chocolate glaze and sprinkled with chocolate chips.
Unlike most Trader Joe's sweets, there's no description on the package. A box of 4 mini cakes runs $4.99.
My take: What's not to like? Cake and chocolate, right? Well, these underwhelmed me. Despite their dark chocolate appearance, the cake was fairly bland. Even the chocolate chips didn't taste quite chocolatey enough...and I'm a girl who eats chocolate chips straight from the bag. Were they terrible? No. Would I buy them again? No.
Overall rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
Kiddo's take: These appeared appetizing from the outside, but they didn't live up to the standard of Trader Joe's sweets. In my opinion, the icing and chocolate chips were what saved it from being thrown out - the cake was very airy and didn't have much flavor.
Overall rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Trader Joe's Mini Triple Chocolate Bundt Cakes: We'll stick to the TJ's Pink Lemonade Cupcakes next time we're in the bakery section.
Those look delicious! So adorable :)
ReplyDeleteDarn, I had high hopes from the pic. Oh, well.
ReplyDeleteI was underwhelmed by these at first bite as well but then a little lightbulb went off in my head and I popped one of these babies in the microwave for 30 seconds. Best.idea.ever! When heated, these slightly underwhelming cakes turned into little molten chocolate wonders! Soooo good. Anyways, give them a try again and this time heat them up and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go with it. You can thank me later! ;)
ReplyDeleteWait who eats these cold? Hubby is a cake snob and been eating them for years! He’s only eaten them warmed up!
