Chocolate Cake

What is it?

Frozen and ready to thaw, this round layer cake comes with chocolate icing and a cocoa-based crumb throughout. It's made to hold together after defrosting rather than crumble, and the texture stays dense and moist once it reaches room temperature. Sold in Sara Lee's freezer section, it sits in the simpler end of the range, with no fillings or extra layers. Once thawed in the fridge or at room temperature, it's sliced and served as is. Icing covers the top and sometimes the sides, with a smooth finish rather than a whipped or ganache-style coating. It works for birthdays, afternoon tea, or just having something chocolate in the freezer for when the mood hits.
