BASE FOOD, a food-tech company known for its nutritionally complete staple foods, is expanding its dessert lineup with a new addition. "BASE Pound Cake Caramel," the second installment in the BASE Pound Cake series, goes on sale from Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at the BASE FOOD official online shop (https://shop.basefood.co.jp/), as well as through Amazon, Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping, and select retailers.
Soft, Moist, and a Smile-Inducing Reward
The BASE Pound Cake series is made with 10 or more carefully selected, primarily natural ingredients — including whole wheat flour and soy — providing 33 nutrients needed daily, such as protein, dietary fiber, and 26 types of vitamins and minerals.
Following the first flavor, Earl Grey, BASE Pound Cake Caramel arrives with a fragrant caramel aroma, a rich yet refreshingly light taste that's sweet without being cloying. It's been crafted as a blissful treat that satisfies both body and mind.
Caramel Richness and a Smooth Melt-in-Your-Mouth Texture
To keep the caramel flavor from feeling one-dimensional, 100% walnut paste is incorporated to enhance the depth and nuttiness of the caramel. Seven different types of nuts were tested before walnut was selected as the ideal complement.
The result is a smooth, moist texture with the clean, melt-in-your-mouth quality characteristic of a well-made caramel confection. Early in development, the batter tended to clump unevenly, making the mouthfeel less satisfying. Through refinements to the manufacturing process, the team achieved a fine, lump-free batter.
While the first BASE Pound Cake (Earl Grey) used the traditional "sugar-batter method," which gives it a crumbly texture, the Caramel version uses a modified mixing process tailored to the whole wheat-based dough — delivering its signature soft and smooth finish.
Healthy Yet Genuinely Delicious — A Guilt-Free Indulgence
Many people reach for a sweet treat during a break between work or household tasks, or as a well-earned reward at the end of a long day — but hold back out of concern for calories. The BASE Pound Cake series is designed for just those moments, letting dessert lovers enjoy something indulgent without the accompanying guilt.
The name "pound cake" traditionally refers to a recipe that uses roughly one pound each of eggs, fat, sugar, and flour. BASE Pound Cake stays true to that framework while swapping in whole wheat flour and other naturally derived ingredients — similar to those found across the BASE FOOD range — to provide all 33 essential daily nutrients. Protein content sits at 3.4g, dietary fiber at 2.0g, and the calorie count is a modest 187 kcal per bag.
The product is well-suited to pound cake and dessert enthusiasts, and is also a convenient option for busy families who want to keep nutrition in mind without sacrificing flavor.
33 Nutrients for a Healthier, Tastier Dessert
The BASE Pound Cake series is not classified under the company's "nutritionally complete food" standard — that designation requires all nutrients to meet one-third of the daily reference values per serving without exceeding the calorie threshold — but it still delivers all 33 essential daily nutrients through 10 or more naturally-derived ingredients such as whole wheat flour and soy. It is positioned as a nutritionally balanced food: an authentic dessert experience with genuine nutritional value.
