An iconic Chicago-area restaurant just launched a new fall-themed menu item, 20 years in the making.
On Tuesday, Portillo’s launched a new Salted Caramel Spice Cake and Salted Caramel Spice Cake Shake for the fall season, an announcement said.
It is the first time in 20 years that Portillo’s has added a new cookie flavor to its menu, the release said.
After 20 years, we knew our new cake had to be something special,” Portillo’s said, “and the Salted Caramel Spice Cake delivers—a true celebration of fall that invites you to slow down, savor every bite, and embrace the cozy.”
The dessert has notes of caramel paired with “warm fall spices” inside a moist cake baked fresh each morning, the restaurant said. The seasonal treat, which is also sold as a Salted Carmel Spice Cake Shake, can be turned into a milkshake that tastes like “drinking fall through a straw,” the release states.
The desserts are available for a limited time, with an entire cake available in-store only, Portillo said.
