Trader Joe's New Swedish Cake Has GBBO Fans Jumping For Joy: 'I've ALWAYS Wanted To Try One Of These'

Of all the wild Trader Joe's myths espoused online, one that is demonstrably false with a quick stroll through the store is that everything is healthy. The neighborhood grocer regularly has cravable confections available for folks with a sweet tooth, including unique cakes that look as good as they taste. Plenty of delicious vintage cakes will turn heads, but if you want a real showstopper Trader Joe's recently released Swedish Princess Raspberry Cake, which needs to be added to your shopping list.

Trader Joe's take on a Swedish princess cake stays in line with tradition by featuring the classic domed appearance the confection is famous for. The layers of sponge cake are separated by a blanket of pastry cream and sweet, tangy raspberry jam, and a generous application of whipped cream creates the dome. A vivid, pastel-green marzipan embellished with white stripes coats the outside of the stunning cake which can be found in Trader Joe's frozen desserts section.

Swedish princess cake gained popularity after being featured in a technical challenge on "The Great British Bake Off" in Season 5. That was the first time many folks were introduced to the remarkable confection, and some people are genuinely excited to try it for the first time. One Redditor said, "Yes! I've ALWAYS wanted to try one of these!" TJ's carrying the dessert gives many an opportunity to try it without making it themselves, which is fortunate given how challenging it is to create (to say the least).

A Swedish princess cake isn't a confection folks commonly see among the baked goods in most supermarkets. It's an incredibly technical dessert — one recipe by Mary Berry of "The Great British Bake-Off" features a laundry list of ingredients and 24 meticulous steps that must be followed to a T in order for it to come out right. Executing the dessert perfectly requires serious talent, but Trader Joe's shoppers can skip all the work and display one on their cake stand for just $7.99.

The price alone has customers rubbing their eyes in astonishment. One fan of the dessert exclaimed on Reddit, "Almost paid a bakery in my area over $100 for this cake for my birthday and now I can get it for less than $10?!" Some people aren't sold on the marzipan coating or the pea-soup color of the outer layer, but they appear to be the outliers. Plenty of TJ's fans are chomping at the bit to get their hands on one of these classic cakes.

Folks who have already had the chance to sample it are giving the dessert glowing reviews. The Swedish-produced cake is a limited-time offering, but Trader Joe's indicates it should be around for the remainder of the year. That gives shoppers plenty of time to beat the crowds at Trader Joe's and try the traditional confection.
