Aldi's new Cake Sandwich meets shopper demand for cake sandwiches, and turns a familiar savory format into a sweet treat with two layers of golden vanilla sponge cake, creamy blush vanilla frosting and a generous amount of rainbow sprinkles. "The nation made it clear: cake beats crusts every time," said Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, "We’ve taken the hint and delivered exactly what shoppers have asked for."
Soon to be available in the bakery aisle across Aldi stores nationwide for a limited time, the creation of this cake sandwich was prompted by an offering from a rival supermarket, and treats cake lovers of all ages to a nostalgic experience reminiscent of sugar sandwiches of decades past.
