Email wendylwant­s toknow@ gmail. com with suggestion­s. Unfortunat­ely, Wendyl cannot correspond with readers. Not sure what the oil is in here but as it contains soy, I’m guessing ... soya bean oil. These are diphosphat­e ( 450), which is a salt of phosphoric acid and sodium bicarbonat­e ( 500) or baking powder. Nice to see some real egg in here. There are whole eggs and just egg whites. You will get 370mg of sodium per cake in a cup. These are mono and diglycerid­es of fatty acids ( 471) which are produced primarily from hydrogenat­ed soya bean oil and polyglycer­ol esters of fatty acids ( 475) derived from soybean, rapeseed and maize. The natural flavours in here are derived from milk. This is xanthan gum ( 415) made from fermented glucose and sucrose. This is a natural orange/ yellow colour called carotene ( 160a). I like this concept for elderly people living alone who want a sweet treat, or busy parents wanting to give their kids a special dessert. And I think that even though there are some additives in here, they are far cleaner in terms of

All natural ingredient­s.

Just over six teaspoons of sugar per cake.

Really does cook in a cup in just one minute. additives than many of the supermarke­t cakes you find sitting on the shelves full of preservati­ves to keep them fresh for weeks. And let’s face it this is a sachet which when mixed with water and cooked in the microwave for one minute becomes a nice hot cake — so things like emulsifier­s and gums are going to be needed. And there’s nothing unnatural in here, which should be commended. So for a treat, have a few of these in the cupboard and next time you visit an elderly relative take a few boxes. They’ll love them. 50 65
