About Cake, pound, commercially prepared, fat-free
Fat-free pound cake from commercial bakeries achieves its texture without the butter or oil that defines traditional pound cake, leaning instead on extra sugar, egg whites, and modified starches to approximate that dense, moist crumb. The result is nearly all carbohydrate, very low in fat, and relatively low in protein. Fiber is negligible. The reduced fat profile doesn't translate to a nutritionally meaningful improvement because the caloric weight shifts almost entirely to sugar and refined starch.
