Buy birthday cake need to pay attention to what

1, try not to Jamaica hydrogenated vegetable oil birthday cake. Most of the "milk" on top of the cake is hydrogenated vegetable oil, and the pastry underneath has hydrogenated vegetable oil or cream of wheat added to it. The traditional choice is to add real thin cream and butter.

2. Try not to buy a shortcrust cake. Shortcrust means that a lot of fat has to be added and the nutritional value is very low. In the present case, the usual addition is vegetable shortening, which contains trans fats. Cheesecake, which is also a high-energy food, would be better because at least cheese also contains a lot of calcium, vitamin AD, B vitamins, and protein, whereas shortening has nothing but some trans fats.

3. Try not to buy cakes with a lot of added coloring and flavoring. Birthday cake inside and outside the color as close as possible to the original color, in addition to a small number of embellishments, the best to use less heavy colors. The flavor is mild and natural, and the pungent aroma usually adds a lot of cheap flavorings.

4. Don't pursue the so-called "healthy" effect of adding fruit to the cake. Most of the fruits in the fruit cake are canned fruits, which do not play any nutritional role. A few kiwi slices, strawberries, etc., is not fresh enough, and the number is very small, only for the garnish, not as good as their own direct purchase of fresh fruit to eat.

5, don't buy a cake with white or dark chocolate chips. The vast majority of chocolate used in cake stores is cocoa butter chocolate, containing trans fat, but almost no cocoa polyphenols in it, its health value is lower.
