Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake VS Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake

TLDR: The Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake is lighter and more aesthetically pleasing. The Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake is a good tasting cake that (in my opinion) is not an exact dupe of the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly cake, but worth trying.

I have been a fan of the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake for a long time. Not only do I find the OG berry flavor to be delicious, but I have also tried and loved their other variations of the cake, such as the Mango Chantilly Cake.

When I saw that Walmart released their version of Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake, I knew that I had to give it a try myself. I absolutely love cake and (most) things berry flavor, so this cake sounded right up my alley. Even if it wasn’t going to be better than the Whole Foods version, I thought I was probably still going to love it!

So, here is a full review of the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake VS Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake!

Cost

The Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake comes in many different sizes such as 4in, 8in, 1/2 sheet, 1/8 sheet, individual slices and cupcakes.

The Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake currently only comes in a bar cake (plain and fruit topped) and individually sliced.

For the individual slice, the Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake is cheaper than the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake, but surprisingly not as much as you would think! At my local stores the Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake is $4.42 and the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake is $4.49.

The cost difference only starts to become noticeable when you get the larger size of the cake. For example, the Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake bar cake comes out to $1.66 per serving and the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake 8in size comes out to $3.99 per serving.

Appearance

If you are buying a cake to take pictures or it has to look good for an event, I would choose the Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake. Just from an aesthetics point of view, the cake just looks a little bit more cleaned up.

That being said, if you did need to stay within a budget, the Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake with the fruit on top is not a bad second option.

Taste

The Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake is really tasty! I love the combination of the whipped frosting, white cake and berry jam. I would honestly say this is the best cake I’ve tried from Walmart.

If I were to compare the two cakes side by side, I would say that the Berry Chantilly Cake from Walmart is a little bit more dense and more artificial tasting than Whole Foods. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just different flavor profiles!

I also think having the fruit mixed into the cake brings out more of a fresh fruit flavor from the Whole Foods Cake. This also makes the Whole Foods version naturally sweeter than the Walmart version.

Nutrition Information

Nutrition facts will vary slightly by individual slice because of weight, so this information is going to be an approximation.

The Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake (198g) has 670 calories, 37g of fat, 85g of carbs and 9g of protein.

The Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake (164g) has 480 calories, 24g of fat, 59g of carbs and 5g of protein.

Quality of Ingredients

If you are buying a baked good from a supermarket, there’s a pretty good chance that the ingredients aren’t going to be the best. And that is okay! If you wanted to know everything that was in the cake, you would have made it yourself right?

Comparing the two cakes side by side, the ingredients are pretty comparable. Both cakes use real berries, milk and flour. But I would give Whole Foods a slight edge here because of the ingredients in their icing (which includes heavy cream, mascarpone cheese and cream cheese) compared to Walmart.

Allergens

The Whole Foods Berry Chantilly Cake has the following allergens: milk, eggs, tree nuts and wheat.

The Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake has the following allergens: milk, eggs, wheat and soy. May contain almonds, cashews, coconut, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts and peanuts.

Conclusion

While I do think the Walmart Berry Chantilly Cake is delicious in it’s own right, I still prefer the Whole Foods version because it tastes more fresh with the berries in the layers. The cream is also lighter and complements the cake better. That being said, you should still give the Walmart dupe a try for yourself to compare.
