Healthy Recipe Ideas
Quick Cake and Fruit Parfait
Crumble one serving (2 slices) of the marble cake into a glass. Add a layer of plain Greek yogurt. Top with a handful of fresh berries or chopped banana. Repeat the layers if desired.
Health Benefits
This parfait balances the cake's sugar with protein from yogurt and fiber from fresh fruit.
Cake with Milk and Nuts
Take one serving (2 slices) of the cake and place it on a plate. Gently pour one tablespoon of warm milk over it to soften. Top with a few chopped almonds and walnuts.
Health Benefits
Adding nuts provides healthy fats, protein, and a satisfying crunch to this simple dessert.
Additive Analysis
The additives used are permitted under FSSAI regulations. However, the high number of different additives indicates a highly processed product. The presence of polyols (INS 420(ii)) necessitates the provided warning for potential laxative effects. Risk is low for occasional consumption but the overall formulation is not ideal for regular intake.

Marketing Claims
The marketing is largely factual, presenting the product as a cake snack. However, the front-of-pack calorie information (41 kcal per approx. 1 slice) is potentially confusing as the official serving size is 2 slices (approx. 70 kcal). This could be interpreted as a tactic to make the calorie count appear lower than a typical serving, which is ethically questionable.
