Every Costco warehouse is full of desserts, and two fan-favorites just made their return—but with big changes. Instead of whole red velvet cakes, the bakers behind the counters at Costco are busy baking up mini red velvet cakes.
This isn’t my favorite Costco cake but if you love cheesecake and are looking for a really pretty-looking dessert this may be something to try!
It’s a really pretty-looking cake and I think it’d be great to bring to a Christmas potluck or serve as a dessert option at a family dinner. In my opinion, it’s not as spectacular as Christmas dinner dessert should be but for other occasions it’s fine!
It’s a pretty heavy, rich cake so a small slice is all I can handle and I have a sweet tooth!
The cake has layers of red velvet cake, layers of plain cheesecake and on top is sweet vanilla icing with crumbs of red velvet cake on top. The red velvet cake itself is a little dry and doesn’t have a ton of chocolate flavor. The cheesecake layers are actually pretty good and it tastes the same as the cheesecake used in the strawberry cheesecake from Costco.
The icing is a sweet vanilla icing that I actually don’t mind! There’s not too much of it and it adds a bit of extra sweetness and flavor to the cake. The cake is garnished with a white chocolate stick on top that tastes quite nice. I actually tried this cake in 2019 and didn’t like it very much but I think Costco has made a few positive tweaks to their recipe.
