My friend and I are trying to recall the brand-name of a certain type of delicious frozen coffeecake I used to have when I was little and visiting my oma. I know it began with a V and was vaguely European-sounding. The cake itself was layers of mocha cream icing stuff and biscuits (can't remember if it was crispy or soft--probably soft, as the moisture in the cream-filling while it was frozen and/or thawing would soak into the cake.) It was like a glorified Twinkie crossed with a layer-cake. Does anyone remember what those were called or if they even still sell them?

Umm, do you mean a Vianetta? (not sure about spelling) That's the first thing I thought of....

Vienettas are icecream cakes though...

Vianetta sounds vaguely familiar...I shall google it. I will (sadly) be able to recognize the box on sight.
ETA: SUCCESS! Okay, so it IS ice-cream cake, but we'll chalk that one up to bad memory. It WAS coffee-flavoured however, most likely a cappuchino flavoured cake, one of the new flavours introduced in the early 1990's, among others such as mint, strawberry and praline. In my 9 year old mind, coffee-flavour + general cakey-ness = coffeecake in my memory?
