Andrew Ely, managing director at Almondy, said: “Thanks to our new Creamy Chocolate Cake with Roasted Almonds, we’ve taken the hassle out of catering for two growing markets.
"Operators can accommodate specific dietary requirements with a dessert that is not only safe but which tastes delicious too, whether that’s with a cup of tea or coffee, as a standalone dessert or as an option on a buffet, banqueting or conference menu.”
“Almondy has been making gluten-free cakes for 34 years and with the demand for lactose-free desserts increasing, it’s important we now expand our portfolio to support operators while guaranteeing the taste, texture and quality of a conventional version.
"Ultimately, we've achieved this – the creaminess of the chocolate paired with the crunch of the almonds means consumers will be hard-pushed to notice the difference between this and a traditional dessert.”
Creamy Chocolate Cake with Roasted Almonds is available frozen and pre-cut into 12 slices for convenience and accurate portion control, with each slice taking just 20 minutes to defrost. It has a frozen shelf life of 18 months and a chilled shelf life once thawed of up to seven days.
