About CARROT DOUBLE LAYER CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING, CARROT

Favorite Day Carrot Double Layer Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting is a ready-to-eat sliced layer cake sold under Target's Favorite Day brand. The product is structured as two stacked cake layers with cream cheese frosting applied between and over the layers, following the classic carrot cake format. Per 100 grams, it provides 424 calories, 23.53 grams of total fat, 49.41 grams of carbohydrates, 3.53 grams of protein, and 1.2 grams of dietary fiber.

The ingredient list leads with sugar and carrots, followed by enriched bleached wheat flour and soybean oil as the primary fat source. Real cream cheese (milk, cream, salt, carob bean gum, cheese culture) is listed as a distinct frosting ingredient alongside vegetable shortening (palm and soybean oils with mono and diglycerides and polysorbate 60) and margarine (palm oil, water, soybean oil with annatto for color, calcium disodium EDTA as a preservative, and artificial flavor). Skim milk and corn syrup solids contribute to the frosting base. Egg yolks and egg whites provide structure in the cake layer. Leavening is a standard phosphate-bicarbonate blend. Artificial colors Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 are declared, likely contributing to the orange-tinted frosting. Natural and artificial flavors are both listed.

Allergens include wheat, milk (cream cheese, skim milk, margarine derivatives), eggs, and soy (from shortening and lecithin). No partially hydrogenated oils are listed, though artificial flavor, synthetic dyes, and EDTA are present. The use of artificial dyes and artificial flavors distinguishes this Favorite Day product from the cleaner-label approach of the Good & Gather brand. Refrigerated storage is required given the dairy-based cream cheese frosting component.
