Sweet cakes always attract people. Indeed, sweet cakes always bring different surprises to people's taste. If you eat a piece of cake when you're in a bad mood, you'll feel better in no time. So how do you choose a cake?

Cake is an ancient western dessert. It is usually made of eggs, sugar and wheat flour as the main raw materials, and milk, juice, milk powder, sesame powder, salad oil, water, shortening and baking powder as the auxiliary materials. After mixing and baking, it is made into a sponge pastry. Cake contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, multivitamins and minerals. Cakes are high in nutritional value, but they are also high in energy, trans fats, colors, flavors, emulsifiers and other food additives. How do you choose the right cake and how do you eat it?

1. Try not to buy cakes with hydrogenated vegetable oil. The "fresh milk" on most cakes today is hydrogenated vegetable oil. The traditional choice is to add real thin cream and butter.

2. Try not to buy puff cakes. Puff pastry means you have to add a lot of fat, and it has very little nutritional value. In this case, vegetable shortening, which contains trans fats, is usually added. Also high in energy, cheesecake is better because at least cheese also contains a lot of calcium, vitamins A, D, B vitamins and protein. Shortening, on the other hand, has nothing but some trans fats.

3, try not to buy a lot of added coloring and flavor cake. The inside and outside of the cake should be as close to the original color as possible. Except for a few embellishments, it's best to avoid heavy colors. The mild and natural taste is best. That tangy scent usually means a lot of cheap essence.

4. Don't go for the so-called "healthy" effects of cake and fruit. Most of the fruit in fruitcakes is tinned fruit, which has little nutritional value. A few kiwi pieces, strawberries, etc., are not fresh enough, and the number is small, only for ornaments. Instead, buy fresh fruit and eat it yourself.

5. You don't have to buy cakes with white or dark chocolate chips. The vast majority of chocolate used in cupcakes is cocoa butter chocolate, which contains trans fats but almost no cocoa polyphenols. Its health value is negative. But if you really like chocolate cake, try searching the Internet for chocolate cake recipes. Make your own cake by choosing a recipe that you think is easy and tasty.

6, when buying cakes in the supermarket, be sure to read the expiration date. Try to buy branded cakes.

What to watch out for when eating cake?

1. Compared with decorated cake, fresh milk cake has a light taste, low fat and high nutrition, and has gradually become a new favorite in the pastry market. But fresh milk cake shelf life is short, not easy to store. You must eat it the same day you buy it. It doesn't taste so good the next day.

2. If patients with diabetes must eat cake, they should choose cakes with sugar substitute additives and eat them in small amounts.

3. Many people will have a holiday or birthday dinner first and then a cake. This is very inappropriate. Eat cake first to avoid overeating.
