About Cake, chocolate, prepared from recipe without frosting
Chocolate cake is the universal celebration dessert — a tender, cocoa-rich sponge that ranges from light and airy to dense and fudgy depending on the recipe. These figures are for the plain cake without frosting, which is where a large share of a finished cake's sugar and fat usually comes from.
Even unfrosted, it is a sweet treat at about 371 calories per 100 grams, with roughly 15 grams of fat and 53 grams of carbohydrate, most of the carbohydrate being added sugar and refined flour. Adding chocolate frosting pushes the calories and sugar substantially higher, so the slice on a plate is typically richer than these numbers alone suggest.
Chocolate cake is the backbone of birthdays and celebrations, layered with frosting or ganache, or served simply with a dusting of sugar. Like all cakes it is an occasional pleasure rather than an everyday food.
