The Bakewell Sponge

Bakewell – With flavours that catapult you to that charming village in the heart of the Peak District, this cake makes essential tea time treating. A smattering of toasted flaked almonds sit proudly on top of this Sponge, natural almond oil runs through both the light Sponge and the butter cream, perfectly complimented by a layer of great British raspberry jam.

Our Bakewell Sponge Cake, made with only the very best ingredients, is over 3 inches high with almond sponge held together with a sumptuously thick layer of almond oil butter icing on top of crushed raspberry jam. Bakewell Sponge Cake is available as a wedge, a 7 inch cake or a 10 inch cake. For delivery details in the UK please see Cake Delivery or contact us for delivery elsewhere.

What makes The Bakewell Sponge

Flaked almond cap: Transports you to the town of Bakewell. Upper almond sponge layer:Protects the icing and jam from the wandering fingers of filling thieves. Almond oil butter icing: Responsible for the shiver down the spine when the first mouthful is taken. Crushed raspberry jam: Supports the icing and delivers a powerful fruit kick to the experience. Lower almond sponge layer: Light enough to float, yet moist and flavoursome. Keeps the jam and icing off the table.

Oh my God - your Bakewell sponge is sublime. I honestly think it is the nicest cake I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot of cake!). I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Katie from London

Decided to make a special trip to Selfridges to buy a sponge and settled on the Bakewell. Without a doubt the best cake I've ever had. Never seen (or tasted) anything like this before! I'll be trying the chocolate orange next and I will not rest until i have tried them all!!!

Rachel Moore from Rickmansworth

Tried this at Badminton this weekend and LOVED it!

Lauren from Norwich

Just discovered that Sponge is on sale in my Uni cafe! Diet = disaster! Had a slice of the amazing bakewell sponge, have to say it was so beautiful, so much lighter and delicious than I could have possibly thought something based on a tart would be! *goes back to get another slice...no, seriously!*

Katie from Nottingham

Happy Birthday to me! Bakewell sponge was delicious, so sweet and almondy. There is very little left!

Jade Shackcloth from Holt, Norfolk

We had one of these truly scrumptious cakes this week. Cherry bake well is a classic, but made into a sponge cake it is delightful. It is lovely and moist, which is complimented by the jam and gorgeous butter icing. I love the kick of almond that is in the icing. YUM!

Presentationally the cake looked very good indeed on the eye. When tasted, it was an absolute pleasure.

The JellyBean Team from Notts

Very popular and never done as a sponge before - surprises and delights customers who come back for more!

Teresa Dawe from Cromer

Wonderful! I just love this sponge. Can't wait to try the rest of the flavours. Well done guys!
