    Abe’s Square Cakes are Such a Sweet Allergy-Friendly Treat

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on December 7, 2019 Dairy-Free Cake & Pie Reviews, Product Reviews

    If you’re already a fan of Abe’s Muffins (who isn’t?!) then you will be elated to discover Abe’s Square Cakes. These sweet desserts are perfectly sized for small parties or to share as an afternoon indulgence. And they come in several flavors to fit almost any occasion.

    Like all Abe’s products, these cakes are made free of dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, and sesame seeds. And yes, they’r e also vegan-friendly!

    Abe's Square Cakes Reviews and Information - Dairy-free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free, Sesame-Free, and Vegan! Four Flavors.

    Abe’s Square Cakes are Such a Sweet Allergy-Friendly Treat

    Although they come in classic flavors, Abe’s Square Cakes have a few unique touches. Like how their Fruitcake is made with 25% fresh fruit, instead of dried fruit alone. And how their Cornbread has a classic texture, but is sweet like a full-fledged dessert! And take note that the slice sizes vary in the nutrition facts for the flavors below.

    These are unfrosted cakes, but in most cases, you won’t need anything but a fork! They also go well with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream or whip topping.

    More Allergen Notes

    The following information is provided by Abe’s parent company, PR Pastry.

    Our baking facility is an SQF “Comprehensive Food Safety and Quality Management System” (highest level) and free from peanuts, tree nuts and sesame. In order to maintain the highest food safety rating, our baking process is audited twice a year by a certified third-party.

    Equipment: Abe’s vegan varieties NEVER touch production equipment that interact with dairy, eggs or soy. Also, at the end of each run, all tooling and equipment is dismantled and carefully washed before the next flavor goes into production.

    Cleaning: Each morning, beginning production is dependent on all equipment passing an ATP swab test for germs and proteins found in food allergies. At the end of each shift, all equipment is dismantled, rinsed in 200°F water and then run through a wash cycle at 180°F using a special cleaning solution.

    Only buy if you're Vegan

    I thought I would try this as it had nice packaging. But if you want a real cake, non-vegan, look elsewhere. The frosting was ok, but the cake is very crumbly. Not moist as you’d expect, again, unless you’re buying Vegan.

    We’ve tried the coffee cake, chocolate, and the cornbread. The coffee cake was perfectly sweet and had a wonderful texture. Plus, I’m a sucker for crumble topping! The cornbread is like very sweet cake. It’s delicious, but it’s definitely a dessert, not a side. I’m not a big fan of chocolate cake, but tried it, and can say the flavor is perfectly sweet. My husband and I both thought it begged for dairy-free ice cream or frosting. On its own, it’s good, but just a smidgen dry. Serving it birthday cake style would be perfection.
