Kimberley's Bakeshoppe Carrot Cake with Real Cream Cheese is a rich, indulgent dessert featuring a moist carrot base layered with cream cheese icing, offering a satisfying balance of flavors and textures.
The product provides a substantial calorie count, with 320 calories per serving, making it a high-calorie treat. It contains 17 grams of fat, primarily saturated, contributing to its creamy texture but raising concerns about dietary cholesterol intake. The high sugar content (32 grams) and minimal fiber suggest it is not a healthful snack. While it includes vitamins from carrots and some calcium, the excessive processing and added sugars make it a less-than-ideal choice for regular consumption.
Given the presence of artificial flavor, processed ingredients like enriched wheat flour, and additives such as preservatives, this product falls under ultra-processed foods due to its extensive modification and lack of whole ingredients. It is not a wholesome or minimally processed option but rather a convenience food with limited nutritional value and potential health impacts linked to sugar and cholesterol intake.
A healthier alternative would be a carrot cake made with whole grains, less added sugar, and natural ingredients like olive oil instead of heavily processed shortenings.
