IS IT CAKE? Asda supersizes another British favourite with new giant Jaffa Cake – and customers can now vote for the next big bake
*Following viral success of its Giant Custard Cream Cake, shoppers can now get their hands on a supersized Jaffa Cake-inspired creation at Asda... and vote for which giant biscuit cake the retailer should launch next!*
Asda is bringing another iconic teatime favourite to life in giant cake form, with the launch of its brand-new and bigger than ever, The Bakery at Asda Jaffa Cake (£14.000). An impressive 820g showstopper, it's inspired by the nation's love of the classic chocolate-orange treat, often sparking the debate of whether it's a biscuit or in fact a cake.
Landing in stores from today, the oversized creation follows the runaway success of Asda's Giant Custard Cream Cake, which racked up thousands of reactions, comments and shares across social media as shoppers rushed to get their hands on the larger-than-life bake.
The latest addition is packed with all the flavours fans know and love. Featuring soft sponge layered with tangy orange curd, covered in orange-flavour frosting and finished with a smooth chocolate icing layer, the cake captures the unmistakable chocolate orange taste combination that has made Jaffa Cakes a household favourite for generations.
Julie Harris Hughes, Product Development Manager of Cake at Asda, says:
"The chocolate orange flavour profile is a proven favourite with our customers and consistently resonates well with shoppers. Combining that much-loved flavour pairing with the fun and instantly recognisable Jaffa Cake concept, felt like a natural next step in our giant collection, and one we knew customers would get excited about!
"Following the incredible reaction to our Giant Custard Cream Cake, we wanted to create another playful bake that brings a familiar biscuit to life in a bigger and more shareable format. We can't wait to see what customers think.".
To celebrate the launch, Asda is handing the decision-making power over to customers by inviting them to vote for the next biscuit-inspired giant cake to join the range. Customers can cast their vote via Asda's social media channels (@asda) on 15th September, choosing from four nostalgic biscuit flavours via a poll:
-
Cookies & Cream
-
Malted Milk
-
Jam & Cream
-
Bourbon
The winning flavour could become the next oversized cake creation to hit Asda shelves in 2027, added as part of a rotational line-up of giant bakes inspired by Britain's best-loved treats.
Whether enjoyed as a centrepiece during celebrations, shared at tea parties at just £1.17 a slice (serving 12), or simply snapped for social media, Asda's giant Jaffa Cake is expected to become another viral sensation and a must-try bakery launch for shoppers looking for a larger-than-life slice of nostalgia.
The Asda Jaffa Cake (820g) is available in stores and online at Asda.com now, priced at £14.00.
