Soft cakes are sold ready-to-eat, as thaw-and-serve items that need thawing before serving, and as frozen heat-and-serve products intended to be heated (for example, frozen molten cakes).
Available options include gluten-free (including certified gluten-free), dairy-free, nut-free (or made in nut-free facilities), soy-free, and some kosher-certified varieties. Availability depends on the specific product and labeling.
Reviewers commonly describe soft cakes as moist, soft, light, fluffy, and creamy, with frequent positive notes about their flavor and mouthfeel.
