Pidy Launches Tigres Sponge Cake

European patisserie specialist Pidy has expanded their range of ready-to-use products with the addition of their new Tigres sponge cakes.

Featuring a dimpled top to resemble a savarin, a Tigres consists of sweet, fluffy sponge with a slight hint of cocoa powder to provide a deeper and richer colour, with Pidy’s version also benefitting from the addition of mini chocolate chips. The subtle sweetness means the versatile cake is compatible with a range of fillings – though is commonly associated with almond or chocolate.

Fabien Levet, Commercial Manager at Pidy UK, is excited about the new product:
“Building on our range of sponge sheets, blocks, and round cakes, we’ve drawn on our roots and the expertise of our parent company, Bouvard Pro, to create our Tigres sponge cake to a traditional French recipe. This versatile sponge offers a point of differentiation on menus whilst still delivering familiar fan favourite flavours.”

Arriving frozen to eliminate unnecessary food waste, Pidy’s Tigres defrost in a few hours before being ready to serve, with chefs able to update fillings to reflect ever-evolving trends. Operators could take inspiration from Pidy’s chocolate praline and hazelnut sauce recipe – simply simmer cream, then remove from the heat and add dark chocolate, cocoa powder, praline paste, and butter. Stir until glossy, then fill the Tigres until sauce is overflowing for an opulent finish, and garnish with chopped hazelnuts.
