This $8 Trader Joe's Swedish Cake Has Shoppers Flocking To Stores
Trader Joe's already has a delicious dessert selection, from dark chocolate peanut butter cups to mini sheet cakes. And now, there's a new, exciting dessert at TJ's that has shoppers flocking to stores so they can try it for themselves. It's the Swedish Princess Raspberry Cake, a limited-time item that costs $7.99.
The Swedish Princess Raspberry Cake has two layers of soft sponge cake with a layer of raspberry jam and custard-style cream in the middle, plus a thick top layer of whipped cream, all enrobed in marzipan. All in all, you can expect it to be plenty sweet, soft, and creamy, with the right amount of fruitiness. The cake, which has six servings, is dome-shaped and has an appealing pastel-green coloring, complete with white stripes. It can be found in the frozen aisle of your local TJ's from September through the end of the year.
In one Reddit thread about the new product, fans are showing a lot of excitement. One person wrote, "Oh my god YES." Multiple people commented that it's their favorite kind of cake, so it's exciting to see it show up at Trader Joe's. And another fan enthusiastically wrote, "AAAAAAAAA PLEASE BE IN STOCK IN OCTOBER OMGGG I WANT TO TRY." The original poster also added that it was "really good."
Customers react to the Swedish Princess Raspberry Cake
The Reddit comments are full of people excited about this product — whether they're familiar with this type of cake or not. One Reddit user wrote, "Whoa I saw this on an episode of Great British Baking Off. I can't wait to buy this and finally get to know what it tastes like!" If you're already familiar with it, you can have fun seeing how TJ's version compares. Or, to really go the extra mile with a taste test, you could make your princess cake at home.
This cake, which has a fancy feel, could be used for a special occasion. One person said they're picking one up for their daughter's birthday, while another Redditor wrote, "Almost paid a bakery in my area over $100 for this cake for my birthday and now I can get it for less than $10?!?!" It would also be the perfect dessert for any dinner party that you host, whether it's for a special occasion or not. The only thing to keep in mind is that it only serves six, so if you're having a larger dinner party, you may need to provide other desserts too (or buy multiple cakes).
All in all, with how excited TJ's shoppers are for this cake, you should definitely pick one up the next time you're at your local Trader Joe's. Time will tell if it makes our list of the best Trader Joe's frozen finds of 2026.
