It keeps their inventory fresh, but ALDI can be frustrating for special diets. They often release exciting new products, only to have them disappear from the shelves weeks later. But it’s great to see some options return year after year, like ALDI Belmont Plant Based Cakes. These dairy-free and vegan frozen cakes are back, for a limited time, in Chocolate, Carrot, and Banana. All of the details and reviews follow!

Worth it!

They’re smaller than I expected but worth it IMO. I got the chocolate and carrot cake this year and they’re so good. I love chocolate but the carrot cake was my favorite!!

Vegan delight.

So ran in to get bread and frozen fruit saw the banana cake and was curious so grabbed one. It was so good a bit small for 8 bucks but that is usual for vegan products. I could eat a quarter of this at a time package says 12 serving at 130 calories a serving so for me 4 serving at 390 I can live with that. Because I buy vegan the price is not an issue for something so yummy. I hope they don’t stock it all the time because I will keep buying and will have no chance of weight loss.
