If you're looking for a last-minute holiday dessert, Trader Joe's Rustic Spice Cake is the answer.
Trader Joe’s new Rustic Spice Cake is a seasonal dessert that's fit for just about any holiday gathering. The petite dessert consists of three layers of a rich spice cake made from molasses and warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and ground cloves. The whole cake is then covered in a smooth, yet decadent, cinnamon cream cheese frosting. To give the cake a slightly more rustic look, the cream cheese frosting is left a little bit unfinished. Finally, the whole thing is then topped with a trio of cranberries for their extra special holiday touch. As Trader Joe's explains, it's time to "deck the halls with Rustic Spice Cake."
