The Walmart Cake That Rivals Whole Foods' Berry Chantilly Cake, According To Customers - Tasting Table

"It's worth noting that Walmart's version is actually slightly more expensive than the Whole Foods version. A 5.8-ounce slice of its Marketside Berry Chantilly Vanilla Cake with Berry Filling costs around $4.49, versus a 7-ounce piece from Whole Foods that costs about $3.75. According to customers, while the style and tastes of the Walmart cake come close to the Whole Foods option, it's not quite an exact duplicate."

"Breaking down the basics of a berry Chantilly cake, the confection is made with layers of vanilla cake, a light and creamy Chantilly frosting, whole fresh berries, and fruit jam. Comparing the two cakes, Whole Foods' boasts two layers of vanilla cake, whereas Walmart's has three. While the Whole Foods Chantilly cream filling includes whole berries, the Walmart option only has a berry-flavored jam."

"What makes Whole Foods berry Chantilly cake so unique is the use of fresh berries and both mascarpone and cream cheese in the frosting. According to customers, Walmart's variety falls short in its lack of fresh fruit. In a review on Walmart's website, a customer remarked, "The light blend for the layers tasted exactly like the grape squeezable jelly [you] can buy.""

Whole Foods and Walmart offer distinct takes on the berry Chantilly cake with notable differences in composition and price. Walmart's Marketside slice costs about $4.49 for 5.8 ounces, while Whole Foods sells a 7-ounce slice for about $3.75. Walmart's cake uses three layers and a berry-flavored jam filling, whereas Whole Foods' cake has two vanilla layers and a Chantilly cream filling that includes whole fresh berries and a frosting made with mascarpone and cream cheese. Customers report that Walmart's version comes close in style and taste but lacks the fresh fruit and richer frosting found at Whole Foods.
