Who is this choice for?

If you’re buying for one snack break

You don’t necessarily want to come home with a large supply of egg cakes. Jumbo lists, among other options, a pack of four; check how many egg cakes you’ll have left after your snack.

If you’re looking for a warming flavour

You want an egg cake to enjoy alongside Dutch spiced biscuits or small spiced biscuits, with a flavour that suits the occasion. Bolletje describes its Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel as having cinnamon and a milk coating, but that doesn’t make it an ingredient for baking.

If you need to check ingredients and allergens

If you have an allergy or follow a specific diet, the flavour name alone isn’t enough. Bolletje lists egg, cereals containing gluten, milk, wheat and soya among the ingredients in its Brosse Eierkoek varieties. Check the information on the current pack of the variety you choose.

What should you look for when choosing?

Before choosing an egg cake to enjoy while baking Dutch spiced biscuits, first check whether the pack size suits you. Then compare the flavour and, if relevant, the ingredients and allergens of the specific variety.

What to consider What to check Who it matters to
Pack size Number of pieces, total weight and storage instructions on the pack. If I only want one egg cake, I want to know what I’ll do with the rest of the pack. Around 44% of consumers prioritise keeping their supply small.
Flavour Whether you want a plain egg cake or a variety with cinnamon and a milk coating, as described by Bolletje. When baking Dutch spiced biscuits, I’d rather have a warming flavour than a plain egg cake. For around 33% of consumers, that flavour preference is the deciding factor.
Ingredients and allergens The ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings on the current pack. If certain ingredients aren’t suitable for me, I need to be able to check the variety I’ve chosen. Suitability is the top priority for around 23% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a small pack contains just one egg cake

    Jumbo lists a pack of four egg cakes, while ALDI lists a pack of twelve. So even the smaller pack contains more than you need for one snack break.

    Check the number of pieces and the total weight before you choose.

    Any leftover egg cakes will need to be eaten or stored for later.

  • Relying on the flavour name if you have an allergy

    Bolletje says its Brosse Eierkoek varieties contain egg, cereals containing gluten, milk, wheat and soya, among other ingredients. So a cinnamon variety needs the same careful checks as any other variety.

    Read the full allergen information on the current pack, even if you already know the product name.

  • Assuming all egg cakes have the same nutritional values

    Voedingscentrum lists 230 kcal and 28,6 g of sugars for one extra-large 75 g egg cake. You can’t automatically apply those values to a smaller portion or a different product.

    Compare the nutritional information for the egg cake you’re actually choosing, both per 100 g and per portion where that information is available.

Brands to consider

Bolletje

Bolletje describes Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel as an egg cake with a milk coating and cinnamon.

  • A specific cinnamon variety to consider if you’re looking for a warming flavour.
  • Bolletje lists several allergens for its Brosse Eierkoek varieties, so check the pack you choose.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists, among other options, a pack of four own-brand egg cakes with a combined weight of 300 g.

  • The stated number of pieces and weight help you decide whether the pack suits your plans.
  • Four pieces aren’t the same as one individual egg cake.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn has a separate product page for AH Mini egg cakes.

  • The mini size offers a different way to portion the egg cakes in a pack.
  • Albert Heijn notes that ingredients, nutritional values and allergy information may change, so check the current pack.

Heerlijck Banket

ALDI lists a pack of twelve free-range egg cakes from Heerlijck Banket.

  • The number of pieces is clearly stated, which is useful if you’re deliberately looking for a larger pack.
  • Twelve pieces are less suited to a single snack break.

Frequently asked questions

Is a small pack of egg cakes the same as one individual egg cake?

No. Jumbo lists a pack of four, for example, while ALDI lists a pack of twelve. If you’re looking for exactly one egg cake, check whether the current product is actually sold individually.

Which egg cake flavour goes well with Dutch spiced biscuits?

A cinnamon variety is a good choice if you’re looking for that warming flavour. Bolletje describes its Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel as having cinnamon and a milk coating; choose a plain egg cake if you don’t want those additions. Neither variety is automatically suitable as a baking ingredient just because of its flavour.

How should I store any leftover egg cakes?

Follow the instructions on your product’s packaging. Jumbo says its Eierkoeken 4 Stuks should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place; check the current pack for advice on storing any remaining egg cakes.

Can I rely on an online product description if I have an allergy?

Use the current packaging to make your decision. Albert Heijn says product information may change, while Bolletje lists several allergens for its Brosse Eierkoek varieties. So check the ingredients and allergens for the exact variety you want to eat.
