Cakes and pies often include high-calorie foods like wheat flour, butter, cream, and sugar, which can be viewed separately in the baking ingredients calorie chart. The nutritional value of baked goods tends to be low because the main ingredients provide mostly fats and simple carbohydrates, which can immediately cause rapid fluctuations in blood sugar level and over time lead to increased body weight. However, a portion of calories in pies and cakes can
also be from healthy ingredients such as eggs, which contain proteins and nutrients. Many items commonly used when baking pastries like spices and vanilla extract are used in such a small amount that the calories are negligible, but other flavorful additions like tree nuts and dried fruit can boost both nutritional value and calorie density. Packaged cakes and pies, even those labeled “low-fat,” can include high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and artificial sweeteners. Although
products marketed as healthy replacements can lower the total calories per serving, these are typically no better (if not worse) than the original recipe. Therefore, it’s recommended not to consume pastries on a regular basis and to check nutrition facts on pre-made cake mixes and pies to ensure they fit into your diet.
