Review: Marsh Supermarket Bundt Cake
Last night my husband stopped at our local Marsh Supermarket to pick up some things we needed and he surprised me with a special treat – a bundt cake. Because I think that our local Marsh makes some excellent sweet baked goods, I was looking forward to trying this cake.
The cake was officially called a “Rocky Road Creme Bundt Cake”. I have no idea why it would be called Rocky Road, though; the only resemblence it has to Rocky Road is the walnuts scattered on top. Nor do I understand why it’s a “Creme” cake. Anyway, the cake itself is nicely zebra-striped inside. The cake is super moist and soft. In fact, the cake itself is so nice that I prefer to eat it without the chocolate glaze.
Oh yes, the chocolate glaze. It is terrible. It’s sort of stretchy, too, which is an odd texture for a glaze to have, I think. It’s not too sweet, but it is definitely chocolately-tasting. It’s just not a great taste.
Overall, it is a nice cake and it will not be going to waste. Marsh needs to work on that chocolate glaze recipe, though!
I’ve found that the glaze stores use is never as good as home made. It always has that weird texture to it! The cake looks amazing though.. Even if it didn’t taste that way!
What a great photo! The “creme” comes from the “creme cake mix” I really do not think they bake then fresh. That black bottom reminded me of the “creme cakes” we would unpack from a box at “Albertsons/Lucky’s” It has that wet shiny look that shouts “FROZEN” I do remember a “Lemon” creme cake that was ok but I knew it was artificial and really could not enjoy. Love your Blog!
Ms Ashley, I was surprised about the icky glaze though; I usually like the sweet stuff that Marsh bakes. I agree, that zebra-striping does look great!
Cupcake Swirl, thanks for your comment. I keep meaning to ask the Marsh bakery if they bake the cakes fresh. It really seems to me that the cake might be baked fresh in the store’s bakery, but there’s just something really off about that chocolate glaze – maybe just the glaze was frozen, thawed and then drizzled onto the cake!
