About CHOCOLATE MINI CUPCAKES, CHOCOLATE
This chocolate mini cupcake is sold under Target's Market Pantry private label in the Cakes, Cupcakes, Snack Cakes category. It is one of many closely related Market Pantry cupcake SKUs, distinguished by a slightly different fat profile in the cake layer — soybean and canola oil appear before eggs in the ingredient order, suggesting a higher oil-to-egg ratio compared to other variants.
The cake base leads with sugar, soybean and canola oil, egg, bleached enriched wheat flour, water, and alkali-processed cocoa powder. Whey powder, multi-component chemical leavening, soy lecithin, wheat gluten, DATEM, and artificial flavor complete the cake. The icing uses canola, palm, modified palm, and palm kernel oil shortening, water, glucose, skim milk powder, butter, mono and diglycerides, and artificial flavor, with Yellow 5 and Blue 1 synthetic dyes — giving the frosting a greenish or teal coloring not typical of plain chocolate frosting, suggesting a novelty or seasonal color variant. Sprinkles contain hydrogenated palm kernel oil, multiple synthetic dyes (Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 3, Red 40), gum arabic, and polysorbate 60. No shellac is listed in this variant's sprinkles, unlike several sibling SKUs.
Nutritionally: 440 calories per 100 grams — the highest of the Market Pantry mini cupcakes in this batch — with 22.67 g fat, 56 g carbohydrates, 2.67 g protein, and 1.3 g fiber. The elevated calorie count likely reflects the higher oil content in the cake. Contains wheat, soy, milk, and eggs. Hydrogenated palm kernel oil in sprinkles adds saturated fat. No shellac; potentially more acceptable for vegans, though other non-vegan ingredients (butter, milk) are present.
