HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this cake is not particularly healthy, it can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation.
The cocoa in the cake mix contains antioxidants that have been linked to heart health, and the cake is a good source of iron from the additional egg added to the mix. However, the health benefits are outweighed by the high sugar and fat content.
