Stephanie Izard, a James Beard Award-winning Chicago chef and Cheez-it super fan, created the birthday cake.
The Cheez-Itennial Cake is made with an entire box of Cheez-It crackers. Ground Cheez-its make up the batter and a Cheez-it and shortbread crumble is between the layers.
The cake is balanced to salty-sweet perfection with swirls of caramel throughout, hints of strawberry in the icing, and chocolate-covered Cheez-It crackers on top.
Starting today, Monday, May 17, the cake is available nationwide on Goldbelly, an online food marketplace, through May 20.
A limited supply will be released each day and available on a first come-first-serve basis. The cake serves 8 - 10 people and costs $49 (including shipping).
The cracker — square in shape and orange in color — was invented by Dayton’s Green & Green Company in 1921.
Through the decades, the Green & Green Cheez-It brand changed hands numerous times until it was purchased by The Kellogg Company in 2001.
