    Amy’s Organic Cakes (Frozen) (DISCONTINUED)

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on December 3, 2009 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Amy’s Organic Cakes were discontinued. For other options, See our Dairy-Fee Cake & Pie Reviews. Some of our favorites are Flax4Life Cakes, Abe’s Cakes, and Katz Gluten-Free Cupcakes.

    If you had told me that I could grab a cake from the freezer, let it thaw for two hours, and a deliciously moist and tender dessert would emerge, I would never have believed you. But Amy’s Organic Cakes do exist and by all accounts, they seem to be near perfect.

    Amy's Organic Cakes: Frozen, Vegan and AMAZING (Orange and Gluten-Free Chocolate)

    Let me recount the ways that Amy’s Organic Cakes made me insanely satisfied:

    • All natural AND organic Ingredients
    • No baking OR nuking required (just a painful 2 hour wait while it defrosts in the fridge)
    • Made with whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flours) and unrefined sugar
    • Cute “giftable” packaging (think defrost and take to a neighbor or a potluck)
    • Available even at conventional / mainstream grocers
    • Excellent size (will last 2 to 3 days in a 1 or 2 person household, or serve up to 6 on a single day)
    • The taste and texture (details below)

    Tasting Notes for Amy’s Organic Cakes

    Some may say calling this product a “cake” is pushing it. My grandma called it “breakfast bread.” In my opinion, it is sweeter and more tender than a quick bread, but heartier than your average fluffy cake. I refer to is as a “tea cake.” It comes in a neat and tidy little loaf that we sliced thickly and enjoyed immensely with afternoon tea.

    Amy’s Organic Cakes come in two flavors (but I am really hoping they add more!):

    Orange

    This variety was insanely tender, wonderfully moist, and delightfully sweet. It had a perfectly balanced orange-vanilla flavor that tasted like a naturally delicious tea cake rather than artificial “creamsicle.”  I loved that it wasn’t overly citrus, just a dreamy orange flavor that left my taste buds satisfied. Move over Entenmanns’s!

    Chocolate

    I love gooey brownies and pure bites of dark chocolate, but chocolate cake, not so much. Nonetheless, this cake had a very, very dark chocolate appearance that intrigued me. The flavor definitely had a rich fudgy vibe, not unlike my favorite brownies, but with the texture of a tender cake. Really it was delicious, but not other-wordly enough to bring me over to chocolate cake side. However, with a nice vanilla frosting, or icing, I could be convinced. My chocolate-loving husband on the other hand was delighted to polish it off.

    The price of these convenient little cakes is just a bit outside my regular budget, especially since I don’t typically buy premade desserts, but it isn’t outrageous by any means, especially for the quality. That said, the next time I see them on sale, I will definitely be purchasing more.

    Now just in case Amy’s is listening, I think this cake has an almost pound cake like quality that would make a pure vanilla version ecstasy! Perhaps from there, blueberry, carrot, gingerbread … okay, I will stop now.
