What vitamins are there in chocolate fudge cake?

Answer 1

There are very few vitamins in traditional chocolate fudge cake. Like most desserts, chocolate fudge cake contributes little more than sugars (simple carbohydrates) and fat (lipids.)

> It is possible to increase the nutritional value of any cake, including chocolate fudge cake, by replacing some of the regular ingredients with more nutritious substitutions. Many nutrition-enhancing cake recipes are available on the internet, or you can experiment with different proportions of various ingredients to develop your own recipe.

> For example, up to half of the cake flour can be replaced by whole wheat or white whole wheat which provide fiber and B vitamins.

> Some of the flour can be replaced with ground almonds, providing folate, niacin and other valuable nutrients.

> Raw fruit or vegetables such as apples and Pears, carrots, sweet potatoes or zucchini squash can be shredded into the cake batter. These not only provide Vitamin A, potassium, manganese, fiber and other nutrients but also improve the moistness of the cake.

> Dry milk powder can be added to increase calcium and Vitamin D (in enriched milk.)
