Goldilocks Chocolate Roll

I grew up knowing that Goldilocks are cakes, and cakes are Goldilocks. And indeed, Goldilocks has come a long long way. New pastry shops have sprung around, but Goldilocks has managed to invent and re-invent itself, not only with new cakes but with new marketing ideas too. (Turo-turo na sha ngayon serving meals!)



I have to admit though that the new pastry shops have whipped up new formulas for creamier, fluffier, and/or spongier sugary delights. But one Goldilocks treat that has never changed and is still one of the best for me, is their classic Chocolate Roll!

Half a roll could yield anywhere from 4-6, or maybe even 8 slices; really depending on your craving meter.


It has just the right bittersweetness of chocolate I am looking for in a cake. And the perfect moistness and fluffiness that just melts in my mouth. I bring home half a roll every now and then. Mon loves it too.

  1. My favorite of the Goldilocks cakes is the Brazo Mercedes. Sinful din. Too many eggs. I'm not too fond of chocolate cake, Goldilocks or otherwise except Bigby's.

  13. i love the "dulo" of the cake too! unahan din kami pag bumibili kami ng choco or mocha roll.

    have you tried Hungrypac's Chocolate Ecstacy? its heaven! :D and its cheap lang, may slice sila that's 3 for P110 ata, then the whole cake isn't that expensive too. simple choco cake lang, pero moist and di tinipid sa chocolate! :D hehe.

  23. @ g_mirage: tagal na yung cathedral windows nila. kid palang ako bumibili na kami nila mom nun :)

    kahit yung Heavenly Choco Slice ng Goldilocks, sarap na.. lesser guilt kasi same choco cake w/o the icing lang. hehe tapos Php20 lang! (pero addicted ako sa Marble Slice nila.. yumm!)

  24. patola, nothing comes close to goldilocks' choco roll no?!!!
    good luck with your contest.. how did it go?

  25. bianca, mas masarap nga ang sliced pang meryenda cakes ng goldi than red ribbon... gusto ko din yung half moccha and half buttercake... tapos may manipis na icing between them. ;-)
