Cheez-It fans rejoice because you can now get your hands on a savory Cheez-It Cake.
This year, Cheez-It is celebrating its 100th anniversary and the cracker brand decided to do something a little different to mark the occasion. The brand enlisted the help of celebrity chef and Sugargoat bakery founder Stephanie Izard to create a bright orange Cheez-It Cake that gives fans an entirely new way to enjoy the classic snack. To make the cake, Izard whipped up a batter made from ground-up Cheez-It flour, layered with a Cheez-It shortbread crumble. The cake also boasts caramel swirls that deliver a touch of sweetness, along with bright red strawberry-flavored icing, and crunchy, chocolate-coated Cheez-It crackers on top.
If your looking to sample this unique creation, a limited amount of Cheez-It Cakes will be available to purchase on Goldbelly's website from May 17 through to May 20.
