Our Favorite Food This Week: Griddled Maple Pound Cake Location: Epcot, Flower and Garden Festival, Northern Bloom Booth Price: $4.50 DDP Snack Eligible
Welcome to this week’s Favorite Food Friday where we share our favorite foods with our friends. Sticking with our cake theme from last week, this week we tried the Griddled Maple Pound Cake which is available at the Northern Bloom Booth just outside Canada at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival. Yes, that is caramel corn on the plate and it was the perfect complement to this dish. The description of the cake is Griddled Maple Pound Cake Served with Warm Peach Compote and Sweet Corn Gelato. The compote (fruit preserved or cooked in syrup) did have some pieces of peach in it, but the overarching flavor comes from the sweet corn gelato. If you like kettle corn, sweet corn, or caramel corn you will enjoy this dish.
