The Beatrice Bakery Grandma’s Southern Pecan Cake is a new dessert from the gourmet baked goods brand that interprets a classic American recipe from the south. The cake is crafted with nostalgia in mind to help younger generations call to mind the desserts their elders would make for them, and features the flavors of brown sugar, pecans and dates with a caramel aroma. The 24-ounce cake is hand-inspected for quality before being hand-decorated just like all of the brand's other baked goods.
President Rick Meyer commented on the Beatrice Bakery Grandma’s Southern Pecan Cake saying, "What started out with a single Fruitcake recipe—now over a century old—has now evolved into one of America’s most beloved bakeries, and it is our mission to continue innovating new flavor profiles to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. This Southern Pecan Cake is sure to put a smile on your face—no southern roots needed.”
