The Galaxy Caramel Cake has been announced by Mars Chocolate Drinks and Treats (MCD&T) as its latest baked good that promises to provide an indulgent experience without breaking the bank.
The cake is crafted with chocolate sponge cake that will reveal pockets of caramel sauce inside to surprise and delight the consumer with each bite. The cake is finished with chocolate frosting, chocolate buttons and a drizzling of caramel to give it a true Galaxy candy bar-inspired composition. The cake is competitively priced at £4 to make it great for weekend enjoyment.
General Manager Michelle Frost commented on the Galaxy Caramel Cake saying, "With eight servings, our Galaxy Chocolate Caramel Cake is perfect for smaller occasions, sharing with colleagues and friends, or as a family weekend treat. Brands continue to play an important role within the category, and we believe that the combination of the smooth taste of Galaxy and the ever-popular caramel favour will appeal to a wide range of customers.”
