Description
It was a chocolate roll cake that had rolls of chocolate & delicious white cream filling. It was a large cake approximately 5 inches tall and 6 inches wide. It was made to be cut into individual slices that would serve 4-6 people. It was distributed in the Boston area in the 70s. Some bakeries still make chocolate roll cakes but none can compare to the packaged one. For those of you who have never had an Appollo Cake think Devil Dogs or Ring Dings but an extreme & Ultimate Devil Dog. It was delicious and my favorite. They also made them in an individual 2 pack - 2 round chocolate cakes that were indented at the top and filled with the pure white creamy topping and sprinkled with chocolate jimmy sprinkles. Does anybody know the manufacturer? I live in California now but I would die for one now.

Sweet Jesus......I think about this cake all the time and no one from outside Boston or below a certain age has heard of it...googled and nothing.....came across this page by accident. Back in the 70's my mom used to get Appollo Cake (scooter pies) all the time (it was cheap for 6 kids) from our local A&P; I can remember WALKING back from the store with her carrying groceries....Appollo Cake, gallon cartons of milk, tonic in glass bottles.....
