Valerie Confections ships its famous Blum’s Coffee Crunch Cake nationwide on Goldbelly! One of Valerie Gordon’s many talents is rediscovering historical California cakes. Thanks to Valerie, fans old and new can rest easy knowing that this otherworldly cake has been resurrected. Featuring two layers of sponge cake in a delicate coffee whipped cream frosting, covered in delicious bits of crunch — it’s no wonder Nora Ephron, who calls this “The Greatest Cake in History,” used to ask Valerie Confections to ship the cake to her.
Founded in 2004 in Los Angeles, Valerie Confections is recognized as one of the top artisan confectioners in the country. Founder and chocolatier Valerie Gordon’s talents have been widely celebrated by the media and locals alike. One talent of hers is recreating the recipes of historic California cakes, most notably the famous Coffee Crunch Cake from Blum’s Bakery. When Blum’s closed in the 1980s, the recipe for their Coffee Crunch Cake was a well-kept secret at risk of disappearing forever. But at the request of the Los Angeles Times, Gordon stepped in as the hero and detective. And we all thank the universe she did because this cake is a revelation!
