Let’s consider this cake an important addition to Just a Chi Town Girl’s Favorite Things.

If you live in Chicago, you know Jonny Imerman- smiley, tirelessly positive, heckuva nice guy wearing his Imerman Angels t-shirt all over town. IA is his non-profit that pairs cancer survivors with people currently battling that same kind of cancer so that they have peer support. Incredible organization, incredible guy.

You know what else? He has family THAT MAKES CAKE. And not just any cake. Organic, all natural, GMO-free, mind-blowingly delicious cake. Brother Jeff and darling Mom Jane founded Imerman Cake Company to share their passion for baking organic goodness with us all because seriously- what we put in our bodies affects our health.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff on a event for my company in Birmingham, MI and tonight, I got to sample my fair share of cake. It’s beyond. The chocolate chip is perfection and the cinnamon crumb is making me question my loyalty to all thing chocolate. And it’s not full of chemicals and preservatives and pesticides! This cake is practically health food, right? Did I mention a portion of the proceeds go to supporting Imerman Angel’s life saving work?

This is the longest post about cake ever but this company marries things I am so passionate about- healthy living, local businesses, and philanthropy. Luckily, Imerman Cakes online shop recently launched so it can be a cake Christmas for everyone!

I think Santa would prefer cake anyways.
