American fast-casual restaurant chain Chicken Salad Chick has expanded its dessert menu with the launch of the White Chocolate Layer Cake.

The new permanent addition complements the brand's existing offerings of scratch-made chicken salads, fresh sides and gourmet soups.

The cake features three layers of white chocolate sponge cake made with melted white chocolate, with butter and cream cheese frosting between each tier.

Customers can purchase either a slice or a whole cake. The product is now available across all 260 plus Chicken Salad Chick locations across the nation.

The brand's dessert menu could be further expanded with cake flavours such as Red Velvet, Chocolate Frosted and Caramel.

Chicken Salad Chick’s strategic move also involved the acquisition of the cake's Atlanta-based bakery from its founder.

Chicken Salad Chick CEO Scott Deviney said: “We’re excited to expand our dessert offerings with the arrival of White Chocolate Layer Cake.

“Staying true to our promise of delicious food always made from scratch, we know our guests will love this new addition and how it perfectly pairs with our menu.

“We all have reasons to celebrate every day. No matter what Chicken Salad Chick guests are celebrating, our cake is sure to add a little more joy to those special moments.”

In May 2024 Chicken Salad Chick announced plans to expand its presence in North Carolina with a new outlet in Jacksonville.

Set to open on 5 June 2024, the new venue will be located at 1006 Hampton Inn Way. It will be the 16th location for the chain in the state and will feature a drive-through and an outdoor patio.

It will be owned and operated by Chris Carnes and Ben Fields with their operating partner Jonah Greenup.
