Someone brought a Derby Cake to my friend's get-together. And this cake which I had previously never heard of, is apparently famous from the Mazzetti's Bakery in Pacifica.
So what's so great about this cake?
Well inside it's got peaches and bananas with layers of white and chocolate cake. It's a tall cake! Look at that beauty!
Here's a slice in its full glory:
And indeed it is yummy!! I liked the banana part.
Here's the thing though. If you go to the bakery in person in Pacifica, there's many amazing cakes and pastries on display. But you can't just buy one slice of Derby Cake if you're craving it. It only comes in a full cake!
Looking at the website, it comes in either an 8" or 10" round cake and it actually says it's strawberries and banana with whipped cream made from scratch. So I think they swap out the strawberries with peaches if it's not in season.
So now I need a special occasion to order the cake for.. but it is quite a drive to get there, so now I'm not sure when I can get it again! Unless we order and eat it ourselves at home o.O which may or may not be a good idea! lol
Have you tried their Derby Cake before? If you've been to this bakery, what are your favorites to get there?
