[Review] Eggless cakes at Cake Zone Croydon

There are currently two branches of Cake Zone in London at the moment, both on London Road.
I went to the Cake Zone on near Croydon for the eggless cakes.


Unfortunately, the selection was smaller than anticipated because I thought they had eclairs and other goodies according to google map.
For the eggless cakes, there were six choices and they all cost £2 per slice.
There was chocolate, black forest, coconut, strawberry, pistachio and rose to choose from.




It was quite difficult to choose even though it was only six choices but basically it was either the chocolate sponge or the Victoria Sponge.
From the cabinet, the coconut looks the best in terms of the sponge and cream but as pistachio is not always offered I went for that.
As for the chocolate sponge, it was either the black forest or the chocolate slice but as the chocolate cream looked like buttercream I went for the black forest.





Overall I was really impressed with these cakes compared to Cake Box because they are fluffier and the sweetness is just right.
The cream for the black forest is a winner here because it is light and fluffy.
Compared to Cake Box, the slices are smaller and do not look as fancy as Cake Box, same goes with the packaging as it does not have tailored made boxes and sleeves which make it difficult when you carry it home.

Revisited Cake Zone again because I was craving for cakes.
This time got the chocolate slice and the Coconut slice.
I am glad I had the coconut there because the box is not tall enough for it and some for the chocolate as the cream on top gets crushed.
Anyway, the coconut slice was amazing, imagine it like a Victoria sponge with coconut on top.



Tried the chocolate slice as well because the chocolate cake looked different to the chocolate cake base in the black forest.
The taste of this one was also amazing, the texture was just like normal cake and the chocolate buttercream was light and not too sweet with a rich chocolate taste.


To summarize, my favourites picks would be the chocolate slice and the coconut slice.
