The ingredient list includes titanium dioxide as a whitening agent, artificial colors including annatto extract, beta carotene, Blue 1 Lake, Red 40 Lake, and Yellow 5 Lake, suggesting a decorative frosting or glaze component. Preservatives include potassium sorbate and sodium propionate. Sodium aluminum phosphate is present as an additional leavening acid.

Allergens include wheat (enriched flour, vital wheat gluten), eggs, milk (whey), and soy (soybean oil, soy lecithin). Per 100 grams, this cake provides 423 calories, no protein declared, 52.11 grams of carbohydrates, and 21.13 grams of fat, with 1.4 grams of fiber.
