Is Birthday cake made with seed oils?
Usually seed oils
Usually, yes
Most bakery and grocery-store birthday cakes use an oil-based batter, typically soybean or canola, and the frosting can add shortening on top. The tracker estimates around 5g PUFA for a slice with frosting.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
Bake at home with butter, or ask a bakery if they offer a butter-based cake.
