Healthy Recipe Ideas
Balanced Tea Time Slice
Serve a 20g slice of the tea cake with a cup of unsweetened green tea or black coffee. Add a handful of fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries on the side. Do not add any extra sugar to your beverage.
Health Benefits
Pairing the cake with unsweetened beverages and fresh fruit helps to balance the sugar load and adds valuable antioxidants and fiber.
Yogurt and Cake Crumble
Crumble one slice of the cake into a small bowl. Top with a generous scoop of plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt. Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted almonds or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
Health Benefits
This transforms the cake into a more balanced dessert by adding protein from yogurt and healthy fats and fiber from nuts.
Additive Analysis
The product contains several additives including emulsifiers (471, 477), humectants (422, 420(ii)), preservatives (202, 282), and an antioxidant (319). While these are generally permitted under FSSAI regulations within safe limits, the high number of additives indicates a heavily processed food. Consumers sensitive to sorbitol or other additives should exercise caution.

Artificial Flavors
Marketing Claims
The claim 'perfect blend of vanilla & soft butter' could be considered questionable. While the product contains butter (4.9%), it also uses refined vegetable fat as a primary fat source and relies on artificial flavoring substances for its vanilla and butter taste. This might mislead consumers into believing the flavor profile is derived solely from natural, high-quality ingredients.
