Sara Lee Debuts Strawberry Angel Food Cake For Enhanced Foodservice Dessert Menu

Sara Lee Frozen Bakery, a leader in the frozen dessert industry, has recently unveiled its latest product innovation, the Sara Lee® Strawberry Angel Food Cake. This new addition to their Foodservice dessert portfolio is designed to meet the evolving needs of consumers, particularly those within healthcare settings. The Strawberry Angel Food Cake is a moist and delicious twist on the traditional angel food cake, a sponge cake known for its whipped egg whites, flour, and sugar composition, making it a cholesterol-free and fat-free option.

Angel food cake, having originated in the United States in the late 19th century, stands out for not containing any butter, distinguishing it from most other cakes. Its health-friendly profile has made it the top-selling cake flavor in U.S. hospitals, according to Circana SupplyTrack Feb ’24 data. With an expected increase in healthcare spending by $3.5B by 2026 due to an aging U.S. population, innovations like the Sara Lee® Strawberry Angel Food Cake are becoming increasingly important.

Steve Cohn, Senior Director of Marketing for SLFB, expressed enthusiasm about the launch: "We’re super excited for the debut of our new Sara Lee® Strawberry Angel Food Cake." He highlighted that this product arrives just in time for summer and is an excellent addition not only for healthcare operators but also for restaurants looking to create seasonal dessert recipes such as strawberry shortcake.

The Strawberry Angel Food Cake is fully baked, ready to thaw, slice, and serve, offering convenience and ease of use for foodservice professionals. Each case contains six 22oz cakes, providing versatility for a range of culinary applications. Additionally, this product may be suitable for some Dysphagia patients, with new Pureed (Level 4) and Minced & Moist (Level 5) recipes available in the Sara Lee Frozen Bakery Dysphagia Recipe Guide.

Available through all major foodservice distributors, Sara Lee® Strawberry Angel Food Cake aims to cater to a broad audience.
