1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: With Christmas just around the corner, we thought we needed 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: to cover some sweets for a change, and so there 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: is no better timing than to choose some very yummy 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: chocolate cake mixes. Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and I'm Lean Woo, 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: and as two of us Jays leading dieticians, we bring 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: you the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly chat on 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: new products and old favorites that you can find in 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: the supermarket. Now, on today's episode, we're specifically looking at 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,760 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 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: What cake did we have for miss me out? Turning one? 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,960 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 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: was amazing. It tastes so good. Most of my friends 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: had two slices. They were like raving about it, and 16 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, wish I could take the credit, 17 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: but sadly I can't. 18 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: Well, you're a busy working mum running the Nutrition Couch, 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: who's got time to do that kind of baking land, 20 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: So you're allowed to be off the hook. Now, I 21 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: will be fully transparent that I never buy a cake 22 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: mix because I will make from scratch. I am a 23 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: bit of a baker, but I just am not a 24 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: cake mix person. But I'm really loving these range. It's 25 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: really interesting. Amy has helped us with this review, so 26 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: thanks Amy, You've helped us amazingly this year and just 27 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: graduated from Dietetech. So well done, and she sounds a 28 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: really interesting one. So the first one we're going to 29 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: have a look at, Leanne is the Greens forty percent 30 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: less sugar chocolate cake mix, which I've never seen before 31 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: and it retails for four dollars fifty at Woolli's and Coals. 32 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 1: And what we're going to do is compare a cheeky 33 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 1: thing cake people cake companies do is they put really 34 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: tiny serving sizes, so there's a reference. A very small, 35 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: slender slice of cake could be about one hundred grams. Now, 36 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: this one recommended serves a sixty two gram so it's 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: literally nothing. 38 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: It's like twelve serves per cake. Who cuts the cake 39 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: into twelve serves? 40 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: No way, exactly. That's a very slim, slimver. So we 41 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: are going to compare across one hundred grams to make 42 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: it a little more realistic. And even that's a fairly 43 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: small slice. So one hundred grams of cake is giving 44 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: a six sixteen one hundred and sixty kilo dules or 45 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety seven calories four hundred calories, so 46 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: literally a meal in a size of cake six point 47 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: four grams of protein, nineteen point two grams of that. 48 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: Now that should we should say that's also as prepared, 49 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: So it's going to include i'd say some eggs and butter, 50 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: which we'll look at in a second, eleven point six 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: of which is saturated and carbo hydrate forty seven point 52 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: eight grams is a reference A slice of breads roughly fifteen, 53 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: so you're looking at about three slices of bread in 54 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: that that size of cake. And nineteen point nine grams 55 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: of sugar, so almost five tea spoons in our reduced 56 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: sugar cake mix, which is not insignificant, and six hundred 57 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: and fifty one milligrams of sodium, which is also not 58 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: insignificant for a piece of cake. And I say, if 59 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: we look at the cake mix, and this is an 60 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: ic cake, so that's also adding some some serious sugar. 61 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: The cake mix itself is wheat flour, sugar, cocoa powder 62 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: at nine percent smultedextron sorce of sugar, vegetable fat, some 63 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: mulsified antioxidants, raising agents, salt, natural fire, is thickener, rice 64 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,399 Speaker 1: starts and multipliers, vegetable gum, and then the icing multiext 65 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: from wheat, starch, sugar, so three forms of sugar, Cocoa 66 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: powder at ten percent, non fat, milk solids, tapioca, starch, 67 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: and salt. Now, the first thing I would say is 68 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: if you're getting twenty grams of sugars from a forty 69 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: percent reduce, that means you're clocking in at thirty to 70 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: forty grams of sugar per slice of cake, which is massive. 71 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Am I reckon that most cake recipes and mixes overdo 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: the sugar by at least a third. You can always 73 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: cut it right back, and I think Annabel Krab, the 74 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: media commentator, has mentioned that before in her baking. I 75 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: never add salt to a cake mix ever. 76 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, six hundred milligrams per serves massive. 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's like a quarter of your daily 78 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: intake in your chocolate cake of one hundred grams, which 79 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: is nothing. Aligin wheat, gluten, milk and soy maybe present 80 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: egg made in Australia from seventy percent austrained ingredients. You 81 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: have to also add two eggs, two thirds of a 82 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: cup of milk, and sixty grams of margarine. Shocking at 83 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: least do butter. Would I buy no is chocolate cake 84 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: very high in sugar? Yes, and I'd probably say you 85 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: try and make your own some healthier ingredients like a 86 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: low fat milk, some plain butter, or even olive oil, 87 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: maybe grate some beet treat in there, which makes a 88 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: great chocolate cake, and ditch that salt, and you can 89 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: probably use a sugar replacement and get a much better 90 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: nutritionals for a cake that still tastes pretty good. What 91 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: do you reckon? 92 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: Lyanna? 93 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: You ripping that up when MEA goes to school? 94 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: Probably not definitely not mindus, and I have I must 95 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: an't better. I have occasionally bought a box cake mix 96 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: or a box cookie mix or something if I'm very, 97 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: very time poor and I'm cooking for something else, or 98 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: someone's told me to bring a cake somewhere and I 99 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: just think, oh God, I don't have time, or just 100 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: you know, like this just because I'm not a baker, 101 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: so I don't have my cocoa powder and my baking flour, 102 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: my sugar and stuff in my pantry, Like I don't 103 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: add your good to make tea and coffee. I don't 104 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: have that sort of stuff in my pantry. I may 105 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: do when I get into my new house, but at 106 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: the moment we're pretty space poor, so I don't have 107 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: a lot of that stuff. So if someone said to me, Heyley, 108 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: and can you bring a chocolate cake for afternoon tea? 109 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: Or can you bring some biscuits for the kids for 110 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: afternoon tea, I would probably, for time poor sake, just 111 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: buy a box. But this would definitely not be the 112 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: one I'm choosing. It is pretty shocking the amount of 113 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: sodium in there, and this is a forty percent less 114 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: sugar cake, as you said, At twenty grams per hundred grams, 115 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: it's quite a lot. So yeah, if this was me, 116 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: even if I was a wirebox mix, what I would 117 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: do is I would use two thousands of a cup 118 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: of skim milk. Take calories down a little bit. I 119 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: would use sixty grams of extraversion olive oil. Often when 120 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: I bake, I actually interchangeably sub the butter or the 121 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: marge for extraversion olive oil. And then if I was 122 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: making from scratch like you, I would one hundred percent. 123 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: I always have, if not a little bit less the 124 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: sugar amount as like you, I feel like the sugar 125 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: amount is way too high and it doesn't really influence 126 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: the texture or the taste to me personally at all. 127 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: So I think there's definitely a few healthier things you 128 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: can do yourself, but this definitely wouldn't be one that 129 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: I'm recommending. I still think for the nutritionals, even though 130 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 2: it's better than some of the other boxes, it's still 131 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: just not quite there for me. True. 132 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: Okay, let's have a look at the next one. Naturally 133 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: good gluten free chocolate mudcake. Oh I love mudcake. If 134 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have chocolate cake, you gotta have mud, don't you. 135 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: I grew up in the time of the Cheesecake Shop. 136 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: You know they had those mudcakes, like caramel mudcakes. They 137 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: do do a good mudcake, all right, four hundred and 138 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: fifty grams six dollars, call them blies. I think this 139 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: is in the health food section. I've seen this brand there. 140 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: They're serving size is ninety grams, so pretty close to 141 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: one hundred. But we will go back to the one 142 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: hundred grams very similar. At eighteen is that sixteen commas 143 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 1: sixteen sixty sixteen sixty kilodels, so again about four hundred 144 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: calories three point nine grams of protein. So I'm just saying, oh, yeah, 145 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: this is cake prepared again, eighteen point one grams are fat, 146 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: only two point one grams saturated. That's nice. I have 147 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: to look at that fifty five point six grams of carbs, 148 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: almost four slices of bread, and thirty six grams point 149 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: two of sugars, which is what eighteen spoons slice, and 150 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve milligrams of sodium, so a lot 151 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: less the third of what's in the others. So what's 152 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: in this cheeky mix? Sugar is the first ingredient, Oh 153 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: my goodness, followed by tapioca flour, cocoa powder at nine 154 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: point seven, potato starch, trice far modified tapiocre starch, raising 155 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: agents i'd i salt, zample and gum, natural chocolate, favor, cilium, 156 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: husk okay leanne's gonna put her my allergies, thinking cap on, 157 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: why is it said? Oh, so they're doing only water 158 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: to mix oil and eggs, so no butter or marge. 159 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: I think they're assuming it's vegetable oil, which is why 160 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: they saturated fat's very low, so you'd add like a 161 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: vegetable locker to mix it. Yeah, so saturated fat's very low, 162 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: but the total fat's relatively high. 163 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: So it's a cake with oil and just sugar and 164 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: a bit of tapiocre refined starch. 165 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: So really why we went with this one. It is 166 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: an allergy friendly cake, so it's gluten free. It's celiac, 167 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: so it's safe for all of our celiacs. It's nut free, 168 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: it's wheat free, it's it's free from everything basically beside sugar. 169 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: And suddenly enough it's a mud cake because when you 170 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: take out the wheat from something like a cake, it 171 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: takes out that aeration and the light sponginess of a cake. 172 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: So any you know people who have to have gluten 173 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: freel or are cilia, they would understand that most gluten 174 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: free cakes are dense. Therefore, a mudcake is a really 175 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: good option to have if you need something that is 176 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: gluten free, because the wheat actually adds the airiness and 177 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: the lightness. You couldn't ever make a gluten free airy 178 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: light sponge cake like you could if you were using 179 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: you know, normal wheat flour, So I don't mind this. 180 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: I just wish that sugar wasn't the first ingredient. And 181 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: it does look to have a little bit of added 182 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: fiber in there because there is a little bit of 183 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: cilium husk. Granted it's a last ingredient, but they haven't 184 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: reported it on the label, so it can't be too high. 185 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 2: I just really like it because you know, Australia is 186 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: the allergy capital of the world. My little girl's got 187 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: six allergies herself. She's got sesmi peanut and four tree nuts. 188 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: So I'm very conscious of my nutrition labels and that 189 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: sort of thing. So I think to have a really nice, 190 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 2: safe product out there for those that need it is 191 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: a good one. I don't mind the ingredients in there. 192 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: I just think it is overly high in sugar. But 193 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: it is a cake, let's be honest. It's not like 194 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: we're you know, we're not chomping down on celery here. 195 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 2: So as long as you're aware of that and this 196 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: is an occasional thing and you keep your portion size small, 197 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: I really don't see a problem with it. I think 198 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: it's a great option for a lot of our allergy 199 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: families that need it, of course is better to make 200 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: it yourself. But again, those ingredients singly are very expensive. Tapioca, flower, 201 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: potato starch, riceler, modified tabiyoga starch. You have to buy 202 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: big bags of them. You can't just buy like a 203 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: couple of tablespoons of that to make yourself at home. 204 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 2: So where you need something like an allergy friendly cake, 205 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: I would suggest getting it in a box mix if 206 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 2: you're not a regular baker, because to buy all of 207 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: those ingredients separately would actually be pretty expensive. That's sort 208 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: of my take on it. What do you think? 209 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think it's a good you know, one 210 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: for allergy people because the thing with gluten free cakes 211 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: that you often find in cafes and you know, the 212 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: coffee shop, it's often almond meal and that tastes amazing, 213 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: but it's not suiting for those who need nut free. 214 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: So I guess this is that middle ground for that 215 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: group of people who really struggle with options, and it's 216 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: like anything, you know what I mean, Occasionally it's no 217 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: big deal, you know, particularly for sal like it's so 218 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: difficult all the time. So it sits in that very 219 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: special category and it's just good for people to be 220 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: aware that brand is out there. It's in Coles and 221 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Woolies actually, so that's good to know. And I think 222 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: they've got quite a few different ones, so I'll pay 223 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: a bit more attention actually too. And if we can 224 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: pull that sugar down a bit, we'd be happy. That 225 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: leads into our third product, which is really interesting because 226 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: I actually have not made this and I wouldn't mind 227 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: giving it a go. So this is the La Canto 228 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: chocolate cake mix with the Monk Fruit sweet. 229 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: Now. 230 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: Now I like these sugar replacements. There's Whole Earth and 231 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: La Canto, and I use both at times because usually 232 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: if I'm baking, i'll do half regular sugar for a 233 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: bit of sort of texture, and i'll do half a 234 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: replacement and they bake really well. So I'll be interested 235 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: to know the actual cake mix itself. So this is 236 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: five point fifty for three hundred grams. The surfing size 237 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: listed is sixty three, which is miniskill, so one hundred 238 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: grams will confer is eight nine twenty five kilodes so 239 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: just over what two twenty calories two thirty calories per serve, 240 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: so almost half the comparable cakes. Eight point one grams 241 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: of protein so quite high. Seven point seven grams are 242 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: fat and only three point nine saturated. It's pretty low, 243 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: almost a low saturated fat products. Almost twenty seven point 244 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: one grams are carbohydrogen, only one point nine grams of sugar, 245 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: so that's fundamentally different formulation. Three point five grams are fiber, 246 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: not insignificant, and a decent two seventy one milligram sodiums 247 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: are not too bad. First ingredient is strain wheat flour, 248 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: which is nice to see it's not sugar, followed by 249 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: lecanto monk fruit, then golden sweetener a se erythrotole. From that. 250 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Coco powder at seven percent are not low, it's quite 251 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: a good amount. Obviously. The higher the coca well, not obviously, 252 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: but the higher the cocoa powder that you'd say is 253 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: generally reflective of the quality I guess of the food 254 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: cornstarch inulin, which is the fiber where that's coming from, 255 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: and it's got chickory roots, so you might mention that 256 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: in terms of people who are sensitive to that. Along 257 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: with baking powder does contain gluten made from at least 258 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: fifty six percent of os the ingredients. There is no 259 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: icing included, which is interestingly, and you'll just need some milk, 260 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: three eggs and forty grams of butter. So again those amounts, 261 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: it's sort of got an extra egg in there and 262 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: less butter than you'd normally make with a cake that 263 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: you might put one hundred grams of butter in. So 264 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: I think that's a bit cheeky because it doesn't have icing. 265 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: So is it really a chocolate cake without icing? It's like, 266 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: what is it there? And it's a muffin? Is it 267 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: a cake? Icing? 268 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? And I think it's cheeky because you can't really 269 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: compare like to like, like, we can't really say that 270 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: one hundred grams is equivalent to one hundred grams when 271 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: the other one does have, you know, it significantly more sugar. 272 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: But it's also you know, icing is basically mostly sugar. 273 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 2: Let's be honest, as icing sugar, it's mostly sugar. So 274 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 2: I would like to see a comparison with this one 275 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: did have icing sugar on it or a nice icing 276 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 2: on it, and really see But I do definitely think 277 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: it's probably the standout for us today. It's significantly less sugar. 278 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: It's great ingredients, Like the ingredients are pretty clean, wheat, flour, 279 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: mong fruits, sweetener, cocoa powder, corn such an inuland you 280 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: can't really go wrong there, can you. And I do 281 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: just kind of like that. It's a little bit higher 282 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: in protein because of the wheat flour and the three eggs, 283 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: and it's a lot less spotial, like forty grams are 284 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: butter for a cake mix is actually quite a lower 285 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: amount as well, so there are definitely some positives in there. Yeah, 286 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: I'm not confident with that amount. Three eggs will give 287 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: you a good mix through, but forty grams is small. 288 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: I couldn't get a cake good under sort of eighty, 289 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: you know what I mean as a baker myself. Like, 290 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: you have to try this one out, Susie and report back. 291 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to try it out. It's quite a 292 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: small amount, like even fifty back forty that's a bit 293 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: cheeky to bring the numbers down because I'm thinking dense wise, 294 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. 295 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: Like it doesn't look as light and airy and fluffy 296 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: on the front of package photo, does it. 297 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm a bit little bit, sus But certainly 298 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: if it does taste good, and we'll do the taste 299 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: taste in the holidays, it's a it's a pretty good choice. 300 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: And as I said, I'm a big fan of those 301 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: sugar replacements, even though they're reasonably expensive. But that cake 302 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: mix is actually not too bad. It's comparable to the others, 303 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: which is good to see. It's like ten dollars compared 304 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: to five for a regular one, so that's quite good too. 305 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: We're done for the year. 306 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: Done, We're done.
