For 130 years, Drake’s has delighted snack lovers with their sweet creations. This year, Devil Dogs turns 100. To celebrate, the food brand launches Mochaccino Devil Dogs. It is the flavor innovation that people cannot resist.
A baked good and coffee pairing is a classic food combination. Whether that beverage is a creamy, frothy concoction or just simple black coffee, the robust flavor contrasts the sweetness in a pastry. Specifically with a chocolate treat, the flavor combination satisfies.
Growing up in the Northeast, Drake’s Devil Dogs were a staple. My grandmother would sneak me the little snack after a long school day. The devil’s food cake felt grown up, but it never felt stuffy. It was fun and always made me smile.
Now, Devil Dogs celebrates its 100th anniversary. Given the ups and downs of the food industry, there are few brands who have stood that test of time.
According to Erica Cunningham, Drake’s brand manager, “As we celebrate 100 years of Devil Dogs and 130 years of Drake’s, we’re honoring what fans have always loved while setting the stage for what’s next. Mochaccino Devil Dogs are the first taste of an exciting new chapter for Drake’s Cakes, pairing the familiar comfort of an iconic favorite with a new layer of flavor and inspiration. Rooted in nostalgia but energized by bold new ideas, this launch kicks off a year of celebration and innovation, proving that Drake’s timeless favorites can still surprise and delight. It’s a taste that spans generations, and just the beginning of more exciting things to come.

The new Mochaccino Devil Dogs infuse coffee flavors into the classic devil’s food treat. The rich devil’s food cake is filled with a luscious mochaccino-flavored crème. The combination of cocoa and coffee is well-balanced.
Kicking off the year-long celebration with this flavor is a smart choice for Drake’s. Not only is the combination approachable, coffee continues to be a trending flavor. It has mass appeal across age demographics. It would be interesting to know if Drake’s questioned super fans to determine what type of flavor twists they would like to see.
Drake’s revealed that additional, limited-edition, specialty flavors will roll out during the 100th anniversary celebration. Since the brand wants to surprise and delight fans, it will be interesting to see how far they push the flavor creativity.
A fruity infused snack cake seems likely. But, what if the brand went beyond the likely. From trending banana to a nutty crème, there are endless possibilities.
The new Drake’s Mochaccino Devil Dog is available now, for a limited time. Check with retailers for availability and pricing.
