Cake Chalet cakes, like all desserts, are an indulgence that should be enjoyed in moderation. If you are diabetic and controlling your diabetes through diet alone, without the assistance of medication, the decision to eat any form of dessert should be made with care. In addition, it is important to note that Cake Chalet uses real milk, eggs, and butter in all of our cake mixes. The quantities of these ingredients are not excessive and should not negatively impact individuals who are lactose intolerant. However, indivduals who are allergic to dairy products may wish to use care.
Based on a suggested serving size of 1/16 of a two-layer cake, the net combined calories in Cake Chalet's Cake-in-a-Bag cake and frosting mixes range from 175 to 200 per serving, unprepared. Chocolate flavors tend to gravitate toward the higher end of the scale, and 30 additional calories per serving should be added for the inclusion of chocolate chips or nuts. For example, our Banana Chocolate Chip cake mix with Chocolate Banana frosting mix would provide a total of 230 calories, unprepared.
To calculate gross caloric intake, simply add the calories contained in the ingredients you use to prepare your Cake Chalet cake. If using 2 cups of nonfat milk for the cake mix and 2 cups of heavy whipping cream for the frosting mix, please add 112 calories per serving to the net calories noted above. Thus, the gross combined calories for a fully prepared, two-layer Cake Chalet will range from 287 to 312 calories per serving, and up to 342 calories with the inclusion of chocolate chips or nuts.
