Hello Again. A Flavorful Reunion with the Chocolate Cake You've Always Loved from Cakes by Louise...

You always remember the first time. Like your favorite chocolate cake from childhood. And in a nostalgic throwback to carefree summers from so many years back, it's good to see an old favorite again...

Since 1977, the iconic Chocolate Cake was a regular staple for any family celebration. Like a flavorful blast from the past, the daughter and granddaughter of the founder continues the family legacy with the revival of the classic chocolate cake exactly as you remember it at Cakes by Louise. Take a step back in time with a slice and bite of the chocolate cake you've always loved...

The elegant and unique packaging already tells you this is special. The large eyes looking back at you is a familiar element (think monster who loves cookies) for a nostalgic blast from the past. Cakes by Louise triggers these fond memories by bringing back her grandmother's recipe for the classic chocolate cake everyone loved back then. 

From the thick fudgy icing with its intricate lattice-like pattern to its deep and chocolatey aroma once you open the box, this is what chocolate dreams are made of down to the dense and moist texture of the cake and the signature filling. Cakes by Louise faithfully recreates all the distinct and familiar elements of the original to take you back to the first time you tried it many years ago. 

And Cakes by Louise does not disappoint. The specialty chocolate cake is recreated just the way you remember it. Soft, moist and dense chocolate cake with that decadent specialty filling in the middle draped in a rich and thick fudgy icing that just melts in your mouth, a big bite takes you on a nostalgic journey back to simpler times. 

Back then, everything else was just chocolate cake. None had that signature filling and melt-in-your mouth fudge icing which is why this was probably your first favorite chocolate cake. It's this combination of layered flavors and textures that made this Chocolate Cake stand out from the rest back in the seventies and eighties and it still holds up well on its own today. 

A taste of the comfortingly familiar doesn't only bring back fond memories, it just warms both the palate and body in this challenging new normal. Sometimes, all we need is revisit the flavors we loved before to get us through another long day in quarantine. A slice reveals the rich, moist and dense cake with its unique filling and fudgy icing. These are what made you fall in love with the iconic Chocolate Cake. And all it takes is another bite to make you fall in love all over again. 

Not too sweet, it's the deep notes of chocolate from the dense cake and fudgy icing that packs the punch followed by that signature filling for that perfect finish. And it just comes together seamlessly exactly the way you remember it. 

This was my idea of the perfect chocolate cake back then. And it still is, thanks to the granddaughter of the founder for faithfully reviving the iconic chocolate cake recipe. Why not go for another slice?

Cakes by Louise also offers other cherished family recipes with its specialty Prune Cake and Banana Cream Pie, just give her a call. And relive all your childhood favorites.

The quarantine experience continues to change and transform the way we live with dining at home, the rise of the food delivery culture, the surge of home-based food businesses and increased online usage as some of the emerging consumer habits in this new normal. Maybe it's time to step back and experience the flavors we used to love in simpler times from the not so distant past. Cakes by Louise is ready to take you back, one cake, one slice and one bite at a time...
