I’ve Tried Dozens of Walmart Cakes and This One Is the Best

Celebrating life's exciting moments (or simply treating yourself) is best done with a delicious cake. But stopping by the local bakery isn't always cheap. That's why one of the best shopping hacks is opting for Walmart's bakery, where the selections are plentiful and affordable.

After trying many of their offerings, I've noticed clear leaders when it comes to taste and value, and one stands above the rest.

Whether you're celebrating alone, with a few others, or hosting a celebration, here are 10 of the best Walmart cakes, with one being the clear winner.

Price: $14.98

When you can't decide on just one flavor, the variety pack at Walmart is the way to go. It comes with two slices each of New York Style, Strawberry Swirl, Caramel Turtle, Chocolate Marble, Raspberry Swirl, and Fudge Brownie for 12 slices that always satisfy my sweet tooth.

If you want to make this cheesecake last even longer, one five-star reviewer shared a useful trick: "I break it into six 2-packs and pull them from the freezer while making dinner, and they thaw in less than 15 minutes."

Price: $4.98

You can't beat eight slices of lemon cake for under $5. Add in being decadent and delicious, and it makes the list of my top picks. Plus, at only 200 calories a slice, you can indulge in the dessert without breaking your diet for the day. Pair it with your coffee or tea, or top it with a scoop of ice cream for an even tastier treat.

It beats more expensive options from name brands, too. According to one customer, "If you are a fan of Starbucks Lemon Loaf, this delight is for you. It's proportionally sized, and the cost is a fraction from Starbucks. As for flavor, all lemony. One of the best finds ever under the 'Marketplace' name."

Price: $3.87

This 12-ounce shelf-stable butter pound cake makes the list for being versatile and tasty. It's a moist cake that you can pair with anything or enjoy by itself.

The resealable container means it will stay fresh for longer, and many customers recommend pairing the loaf with ice cream or fruit for more sweetness.

Price: $8.92

With chocolate cake, dulce, chocolate icing, and turtle brownie pieces, you can't get much sweeter than this Marketside cake. At four and a half inches, it serves approximately six. Walmart recommends keeping the cake refrigerated until it's ready to enjoy.

Not only do I love it, but other customers do too, with one sharing, "This cake is exquisite. Smooth. Moist. So chocolatey."

Price: $14.94

This Italian Creme Bar Cake stands out for its unique flavor, featuring nuts, coconut, and a cream cheese icing. And with 12 servings per container, it's a great option for sharing. With 80 five-star ratings, you can trust that it's a high-quality choice.

Price: $1.48

This three-ounce chocolate bundt cake is the perfect treat when you want a little something special for yourself. The fudgy and fresh treat also makes the perfect addition to a birthday or celebratory gift.

The bundt cake is topped with a chocolate glaze and has 310 calories per serving. Other customers also love it too, with one saying, "The chocolate drizzle on top has a tiny little crunch to it, and it is so moist! I wasn't sure if it was going to have the yummy middle layer, and it did."

Price: $14.98

Cookies and creme is one of my all-time favorites, and this seven-inch round Walmart cake doesn't disappoint.

It has two layers of cookie and creme cake filled with buttercream filling and iced with cookies and creme buttercream icing. Then, it's topped with chocolate and cookies. It serves 12 and can usually be personalized at your local store with a name or message.

Price: $13.84

If you love chocolate, you'll be thankful you tried this 1/8 sheet cake. It's made with rich chocolate cake and a whipped chocolate topping and topped with a chocolate drizzle and chocolate shavings for even more decadence.

The cake serves nine, so it's perfect for a small get-together, but make sure you have milk nearby to wash it all down.

Price: $14.94

But which Walmart cake reigns supreme? This dessert's three layers of vanilla sponge cake with mixed berry filling and Chantilly cream are a personal and customer favorite, topping the list for the best Walmart cake.

Not only is it delicious, but it's less than $15. It's made with real berries and comes at an affordable price for nine servings.

One five-star reviewer described it perfectly, saying, "The crumb is light and airy. The cream is beautifully smooth and tastes fresh; nothing artificial or 'chemically' tasting. The jam is not painfully sweet, nor does it taste like jam out of a jar."

Walmart's Marketside Mixed Berry Chantilly Cake is my top choice by far, and customer reviews show that others agree. And even if you choose one of the other options on the list, you can be sure that you'll still get a delicious cake without spending a fortune.
