Sara Lee's new Buttery Sunshine Cakes are individually wrapped round, buttery golden cakes.
They come six cakes to a 9-ounce box and retail for
$3.99 a box. I received these courtesy of Sara Lee though.
These strike me as a cross between a Sara Lee Pound Cake and a Golden Twinkie. It's not as dense as the pound cake but is a bit more shelf-stable. Unlike a Twinkie, there's not creme here; it's also not as spongy and light as a Twinkie.
The texture is nice enough; not quite moist but soft and not too crumbly. The top of the cake has a slight glaze to it.
In taste, it's like yellow cake with a touch of butter, which is to say it tasted similar to a Twinkie but was slightly richer. It's enjoyable and not overly sweet.
Overall, Sara Lee's new Buttery Sunshine Cakes are fairly good but might be a little plain for some. Like most snack cakes, it's ideal for packing for lunch, but is also prime to be topped or frosted at home.
