For years, the White Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake has been gifted to Hollywood’s A-listers to spread festive cheer during Christmas by Tom Cruise. Though most of us haven’t had the chance to taste it, the cake is known for its rich, moist base made with white chocolate and coconut flakes. Popularly called the ‘Tom Cruise Cake’, it comes from California-based Doan’s Bakery.

However, according to a report by CBS News, the cake has now been recalled by the US FDA due to a labelling error. Reportedly, the cake contains undeclared wheat and milk. These ingredients pose a serious risk to people allergic to them. Moreover, allergies to wheat and milk are becoming increasingly common and, in some cases, can cause life-threatening reactions.

Another Cake Recalled For The Same Reason

As per the same report, the Carrot Bundt Cake from the same bakery has also been recalled for the same issue. According to the FDA’s recall notice, Doan’s Bakery acted swiftly and updated the labelling on both cakes. Fortunately, there have been no reported illnesses linked to the recalled cakes so far. The FDA has advised anyone allergic to wheat or dairy to avoid consuming them.

This recall comes as sad news for Hollywood, as the cake has been a part of Tom Cruise’s annual Christmas gifting ritual for years. The actor would send the famous bundt cakes, wrapped in festive packaging with personal greeting cards, to several celebrities. It included Glen Powell, Mindy Kaling, Angela Bassett, Tom Hanks, Rosie O’Donnell, Kirsten Dunst, and many others.
