Trader Joe Find...Rave!

LeoGrl · ‎03-09-2010

STICKY PUMPKIN CAKE. I was at Trader Joes the other night and wanted to pick up their pumpkin ice cream (which was, of course, sold out again) but I spotted this. I grabbed this to try since it said it was new for them for Fall this year. You just put it in the microwave on a plate for a minute and half. Flip it over and it pops out of the container with this unbelievable warm toffee glaze that just oozes out all over the top. . It is the most moist, pumpkiny cake. It was warm and gooey like a sticky pudding cake. They recommend putting vanilla ice cream or whip cream on it. I didn't have either but it would have made it even better. Highly recommend if anyone's interested!

One of our chain supermarkets has delicious pumpkin ice cream....just in case it's out of stock at TJ's. Your find sounds delicious. Just about everything is pumpkin at TJ's. Was there today. Lots of choices all around.......

p.s. TJ's is so good about looking in their computer for certain items.........I call them in the morning, and they will let me know when an item is due to arrive and be stocked. O/P might want to call them and ask when their next delivery of pumpkin ice cream will be stocked. Just a thought.

Thanks for the tip ROMARY 1. Forgot to edit my original post--the glaze is described as a caramel rum flavor, not toffee. However, if anyone is nervous about an overwhelming rum taste, it's not. I'm not a huge fan of rum. In my opinion, it definitely was more caramel tasting. It's just pure deliciousness!

LeoGirl: Yes, anytime I have a feeling that an item might not be stocked yet, I call our nearby TJ's and they don't even have to leave their post and look for it in the store. The manager in the booth just looks it up on his/her computer. They are very nice, helpful employees.

I think this might be similar to their Sticky Toffee Pudding cake that I got last holiday season. The packaging & instructions look very much like it. It was all I could do not to inhale that whole cake in one sitting, it was that good!
