1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: With Christmas just around the corner, we thought we needed 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: to cover some sweets for a change, and so there 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: is no better timing than to choose some very yummy 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: chocolate cake mixes. Hi, I'm Sussie Burrow and I'm lean 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: And as two of us Jays leading dieticians, we bring 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 1: you the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly chat on 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: new products and old favorites that you can find in 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: the supermarket. Now, on today's episode, we're specifically looking at 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: chocolate cake. Now, Leanne, you've first had a little cheeky birthday? 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: Were you? 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: What cake did we have for miss me? Out turning one? 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: We had a lovely vanilla sponge cake with fresh cream 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: and strawberries and I did not make it, but it 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: was amazing. It tastes so good. Most of my friends 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: had two slices. They were like raving about it, and 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, wish I could take the credit, 17 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: but sadly I can't. 18 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Well, you're a busy working mum running the Nutrition Couch, 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: who's got time to do that kind of baking land, 20 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: So you're allowed to be off the hook. Now, I 21 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: will be fully transparent that I never buy a cake mix, 22 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: because I will make from scratch. I am a bit 23 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: of a baker, but I just am not a cake 24 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: mixed person. But I'm really loving these range. It's really interesting. 25 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: Amy has helped us with this review, so thanks Amy, 26 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: You've helped us amazingly this year and just graduated from Dietetic. 27 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: So well done, and she sounds a really interesting one. 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: So the first one we're going to have a look at, 29 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: Leanne is the Greens forty percent less sugar chocolate cake mix, 30 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: which I've never seen before and it retails for four 31 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: dollars fifty at Woolli's and Coals. And what we're going 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: to do is compare a cheeky thing cake people cake 33 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: companies do is they put really tiny serving sizes, so 34 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: as a reference, a very small, slender slice of cake 35 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: could be about one hundred grams. Now, this one recommended 36 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: serves to sixty two gram so it's literally nothing. 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 2: It's like twelve serves per cake. Who cuts the cake 38 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: into twelve serves? 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: No way, exactly. That's a very slim sliver. So we 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: are going to compare across one hundred grams to make 41 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: it a little more realistic. And even that's a fairly 42 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: small slice. So one hundred grams of cake is giving 43 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: a six sixteen one hundred and sixty kilo dules or 44 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety seven calories four hundred calories, so 45 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: literally a meal in a size of cake six point 46 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: four grams of protein nineteen point two grams of that. 47 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: Now that should we should say that's also as prepared, 48 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: so it's going to include i'd say some eggs and butter, 49 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: which will look at in a second, eleven point six 50 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: of which is saturated, and carbo hydrate forty seven point 51 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: eight grams. As a reference, a slice of bread's roughly 52 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: fifteen so you're looking at about three slices of bread 53 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: in that that size of cake. And nineteen point nine 54 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: grams of sugar, so almost five tea spoons in our 55 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: reduced sugar cake mix, which is not insignificant, and six 56 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one milligrams of sodium, which is also 57 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: not insignificant for a piece of cake. And I say, 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: if we look at the cake mix, and this is 59 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: an ic cake, so that's also adding some some serious sugar. 60 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: The cake mix itself is wheat flour, sugar, coca powder 61 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: at nine percent smultedextron or salt of sugar, vegetable fat, 62 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: some multifies antioxidants, raising agents, salt, natural face is thickener, 63 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: rice starch to multipliers, vegetable gum and then the icing 64 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: multi extrom wheat start sugar. So three forms of sugar, 65 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Cocoa powder at ten percent, non fat, milk solids, tapioca, starch, 66 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: and salt. Now, the first thing I would say is 67 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: if you're getting twenty grams of sugars from a forty 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: percent reduce, that means you're clocking in at thirty to 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: forty grams of sugar per slice of cake, which is massive. 70 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: Am I reckon that most cake recipes and mixes overdo 71 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: the sugar by at least a third. You can always 72 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: cut it right back, and I think Annabelle Krab, the 73 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: media commentator, has mentioned that before in her baking. I 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: never add salt to a cake mix ever. 75 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, six hundred milligrams per serves massive, that's a lot. 76 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: That's like a quarter of your daily intake in your 77 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: chocolate cake of one hundred grams, which is nothing. Aligen's 78 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: wheat gluten milk and soy maybe present egg made in 79 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: Australia from seventy percent austrained ingredients. You have to also 80 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: add two eggs, two thirds of a cup of milk, 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: and sixty grams of margurine. Shocking at least do butter? 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: Would I buy? Is chocolate caate very high in sugar? Yes, 83 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: and I'd probably say you try and make your own 84 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: some healthier ingredients, like a low fat milk, some plain butter, 85 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: or even olive oil, maybe grate some beech treat in there, 86 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: which makes a great chocolate cake, and ditch that salt, 87 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and you can probably use a sugar replacement and get 88 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: a much better nutritionals for a cake that still tastes 89 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: pretty good. What do you reckon? Ly Anna? Are you 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: ripping that up when Mea goes to school? Probably not. 91 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: I'm definitely definitely not buying this, and I have I 92 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: must ad better. I have occasionally bought a box cake 93 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: mix or a box cookie mix or something if I'm very, 94 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: very time poor and I'm cooking for something else, or 95 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: someone's told me to bring a cake somewhere and I 96 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: just think, oh God, I don't have time, or just 97 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 2: you know, like this just because I'm not a baker, 98 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: so I don't have my coco powder or my baking flour, 99 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: my sugar and stuff in my pantry, Like I don't 100 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: add your good to my tea and coffee. I don't 101 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: have that sort of stuff in my pantry. I may 102 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: do when I get into my new house, but at 103 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: the moment we're pretty space poor, so I don't have 104 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: a lot of that stuff. So if someone said to me, Heyley, 105 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: can you bring a chocolate for afternoon tea? Or can 106 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 2: you bring some biscuits for the kids for afternoon tea? 107 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: I would probably for time poor sake, just buy a box. 108 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: But this would definitely not be the one I'm choosing. 109 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: It is pretty shocking the amount of sodium in there, 110 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: and this is a forty percent less sugar cake. As 111 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: you said, At twenty grams per hundred grams, it's quite 112 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: a lot. So yeah, if this was me, even if 113 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: I was a wirebox mix, what I would do is 114 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: I would use two thousand of a cup of skim 115 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: milk teck calories down a little bit. I would use 116 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: sixty grams of extraversion olive oil. Often when I bake, 117 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: I actually interchangeably sub the butter or the marge for 118 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: extraversion olive oil. And then if I was making from 119 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: scratch like you, I would one hundred percent. I always have, 120 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: if not a little bit less the sugar amount as 121 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: like you, I feel like the sugar amount's way too 122 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: high and it doesn't really influence the texture or the 123 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: taste to me personally at all. So I think there's 124 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 2: definitely a few healthier things you can do yourself, but 125 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: this definitely wouldn't be one that I'm recommending. I still 126 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 2: think for the nutritionals, even though it's better than some 127 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: of the other boxes, it's still just not quite there 128 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: for me. 129 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: True. Okay, let's have a look at the next one. 130 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: Naturally good gluten free chocolate mudcake. Oh, I love mudcake. 131 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: If you're gonna have chocolate cake, you gotta have them, 132 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: don't you. I grew up in the time of the 133 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: cheesecake Shop. You know they had those mudcakes, like caramel mudcakes. 134 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: They do do a good mudcake, all right, four hundred 135 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: and fifty grams six dollars calls them bliz. I think 136 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: this is in the health food section. I've seen this 137 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: brand there. Their serving size is ninety grams, so pretty 138 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: close to one hundred, but we will go back to 139 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: the one hundred grams. Very similar eighteen. Is that sixteen 140 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: commins sixteen sixty sixteen sixty kilodels, so again about four 141 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: hundred calories three point nine grams of protein. So I'm 142 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: just saying, oh, yeah, this is cake prepared again. Eighteen 143 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: point one grams are fat, only two point one grams saturated. 144 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: That's nice. I have to look at that fifty five 145 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: point six grams of carbs almost four slices of bread, 146 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: and thirty six grams point two of sugars which is 147 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: what eighteen spoons for slice, and two hundred and twelve 148 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: milligrams of sodium, so a lot less the third of 149 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: what's in the others. So what's in this cheeky mix? 150 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: Sugar is the first ingredient, Oh my goodness, followed by 151 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: tapioca flour, cocoa powder at nine point seven, potato starch, rice, 152 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: far modified tapiocre starch, raising agents. I'd i salt, zample 153 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: and gum, natural chocolate, favor, cilium husk okay Leanne's gonna 154 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: put her my allergies spinking cap on? Why is it said? Oh, 155 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: so they're doing only water to mix oil and eggs, 156 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: so no butter or marge. 157 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: I think they're assuming it's vegetable oil, which is why 158 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: they saturated fat's very low, so you'd add like a 159 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: vegetable to mix it. Yeah, so it saturated fat's very low, 160 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: but the total fat's relatively high. 161 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: So it's a cake with oil and just sugar and 162 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: a bit of tapiocre refined starch. 163 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: Oh so, really why we went with this one. It's 164 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: an allergy friendly cake, so it's gluten free. It's celiac, 165 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: so it's safe for all of our celiacs. It's not free, 166 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: it's wheat free. It's it's free from everything basically beside sugar. 167 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 2: And suddenly enough it's a mud cake because when you 168 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: take out the wheat from something like a cake, it 169 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: takes out that aeration and the light sponginess of a cake. 170 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: So any you know, people who have to have gluten 171 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: free or are ciliac, they would understand that most gluten 172 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: free cakes are dense. Therefore, a mudcake is a really 173 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: good option to have if you need something that is 174 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: gluten free because the wheat actually adds their airiness and 175 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: the lightness. You couldn't ever make a gluten free airy 176 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: light sponge cake like you could if you were using 177 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: you know, normal wheat flour, so I don't mind this. 178 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: I just wish that sugar wasn't the first ingredient. And 179 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 2: it does look to have a little bit of added 180 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: fiber in there because there is a little bit of 181 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: cilium husk. Granted it's the last ingredient, but they haven't 182 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: reported it on the label, so it can't be too high. 183 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 2: I just really like it because you know, Australia is 184 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: the allergy capital of the world. My little girl's got 185 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: six allergies herself. She's got sessme peanut and four tree nuts. 186 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: So I'm very conscious of my nutrition labels and that 187 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: sort of thing. So I think to have a really nice, 188 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 2: safe product out there for those that need it is 189 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: a good one. I don't mind the ingredients in there. 190 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: I just think it is overly high in sugar. But 191 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: it is a cake, let's be honest. It's not like 192 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: we're you know, we're not chomping down on celery here. 193 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: So as long as you're aware of that and this 194 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: is an occasional thing and you keep your portion size small, 195 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: I really don't see a problem with it. I think 196 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: it's a great option for a lot of ourt allergy families. 197 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 2: That need it, of course is better to make it yourself. 198 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 2: But again, those ingredients singly are very expensive. Tapioca, flower, 199 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: potato starch, riceler, modified tabioga starch. You have to buy 200 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: big bags of them. You can't just buy like a 201 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: couple of tablespoons of that to make yourself at home. 202 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: So where you need something like an allergy friendly cake, 203 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: I would suggest getting it in a box mix if 204 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: you're not a regular baker, because to buy all of 205 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 2: those ingredients separately would actually be pretty expensive. That's sort 206 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: of my take on it. What do you think? 207 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think it's a good you know, one 208 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: for allergy people because the thing with gluten free cakes 209 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: that you often find in cafes and you know, the 210 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: coffee shop, it's often almond meal and that tastes amazing, 211 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: but it's not suiting for those who need nut free. 212 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: So I guess this is that middle ground for that 213 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: group of people who really struggle with options, and it's 214 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: like anything, you know what I mean, Occasionally it's no 215 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: big deal, you know, particularly for sil like it's so 216 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: difficult all the time. So it sits in that very 217 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: special category and it's just good for people to be 218 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: aware that brand is out there. It's in coals and 219 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: woolies actually, so that's good to know. And I think 220 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: they've got quite a few different ones, so I'll pay 221 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: a bit more attention actually too. And if we can 222 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: pull that sugar down a bit, we'd be happy. That 223 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: leads into our third product, which is really interesting because 224 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: I actually have not made this and I wouldn't mind 225 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: giving it a go. So this is the La Canto 226 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: chocolate cake mix with the monk fruit sweeten. Now, now 227 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: I like these sugar replacements. There's Whole Earth and La Canto, 228 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: and I use both at times because usually if i'm baking, 229 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: i'll do half regular sugar for a bit of sort 230 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: of texture, and i'll do half a replacement and they 231 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: bake really well, so I'll be interested to know the 232 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: actual cake mix itself. So this is five point fifty 233 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: for three hundred grams. The surfing size listed is sixty three, 234 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: which is miniskill, so one hundred grams will confer is 235 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: eight nine twenty five kilodes so just over what two 236 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: twenty calories two thirty calories per serve, so almost half 237 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: the comparable cakes. Eight point one grams of protein, so 238 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: quite high. Seven point seven grams are fat and only 239 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: three point nine saturated. It's a pretty low, almost a 240 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: low low saturated fat products. Almost twenty seven point one 241 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: grams are carbohydrogen only one point nine grams of sugar, 242 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: so that's fundamentally different formulation. Three point five grams are fiber, 243 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: not insignificant, and a decent two seventy one milligram of 244 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: sodiums are not too bad. First ingredient is strain wheat flour, 245 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: which is nice to see it's not sugar, followed by 246 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: lecanto monk fruit, then golden sweetener, a some erythrotol from that. 247 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Cocoa powder at seven percent are not low, it's quite 248 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: a good amount. Obviously. The higher the coca well, not obviously, 249 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: but the higher the coca powder that you'd say is 250 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: generally reflective the quality I guess of the food cornstarch inulin, 251 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: which is the fiber where that's coming from, and it's 252 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: got chickory roots, so you might mention that in terms 253 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: of people who are sensitive to that. Along with baking 254 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: powder does contain gluten made from at least fifty six 255 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: percent of us the ingredients. There is no icing included, 256 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: which is, interestingly, and you'll just need some milk, three 257 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: eggs and forty grams of butter, So again those amounts, 258 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: it's sort of got an extra egg in there and 259 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: less butter than you'd normally make with a cake that 260 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: you might put one hundred grams of butter in. So 261 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: I think that's a bit cheeky because it doesn't have icing. 262 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: So is it really a chocolate cake without icing? It's like, 263 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: what is it there? It's a muffin? Is it a cake? Icing? 264 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? And I think it's cheeky because you can't really 265 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 2: compare like to like, like, we can't really say that 266 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: one hundred grams is equivalent to one hundred grams when 267 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: the other one does have you know, it's significantly more sugar. 268 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 2: But it's also you know, icing is basically mostly sugar. 269 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: Let's be honest, as icing sugar, it's mostly sugar. So 270 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: I would like to see it comparison with this one 271 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: did have icing sugar on it or a nice icing 272 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: on it, and really see But I do definitely think 273 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: it's probably the standoup for us today. It's significantly less sugar. 274 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: It's great ingredients, Like the ingredients are pretty clean, wheat flour, mongk, fruits, sweetener, 275 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: cocoa powder, corn such an inuland you can't really go 276 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: wrong there, can you. 277 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: And I do just kind of like that. 278 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: It's a little bit higher in protein because of the 279 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: wheat flour and the three eggs, and it's a lot 280 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: less bottle, Like forty grams are butter for a cake 281 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: mix is actually quite a low amount as well, so 282 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 2: there are definitely some positives in there. 283 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not confident with that amount. Three eggs will 284 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: give you a good mix through, but forty grams is small. 285 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: I couldn't get a cake good under sort of eighty, 286 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean as a baker myself. 287 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: Like, you have to try this one out, Susan and 288 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: report back. 289 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to try it out. It's quite a 290 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: small amount, like even fifty back forty that's a bit 291 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: cheaky to bring the numbers down because I'm thinking dense wise, 292 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. 293 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: Like it doesn't look as light and airy and fluffy 294 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: on the front of package photo, does it. 295 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm a bit little bit, sus But certainly 296 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: if it does taste good, and we'll do the taste 297 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: taste in the holidays, it's a pretty good choice. And 298 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: as I said, I'm a big fan of those sugar replacements, 299 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: even though they're reasonably expensive. But that cake mix is 300 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: actually not too bad. It's comparable to the others, which 301 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: is good to see. It's like ten dollars compared to 302 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: five for a regular one, so that's quite good too. 303 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: We're done for the arne En. 304 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: It's ten pm. 305 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: We're done.
