About Crumble cake

Crumble cake is a classic dessert often associated with European and American cuisines, particularly popular in British teatime culture. It consists of a soft, dense cake base topped with a crumbly, buttery streusel mixture made of flour, sugar, and fat. While it is not typically considered a health food, crumble cake does provide a source of carbohydrates for energy, along with small amounts of protein. Depending on the ingredients, it may contain trace amounts of vitamins and minerals like calcium (from dairy) or B vitamins (from flour). Variations can include fruits like apples or berries, which enhance the nutritional value by adding dietary fiber and antioxidants. However, its high sugar and fat content mean it is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, mainly from flour and sugar.
• Can include dietary fiber and vitamin C if made with fruits like apples or berries.
• May contain calcium and vitamin D if prepared with fortified milk or cream.

Can I eat crumble cake on a keto diet?

Traditional crumble cake is not suitable for a keto diet as it is high in carbohydrates, with a typical serving containing around 40-50 grams of carbs due to flour and sugar content. Modified keto-friendly recipes using almond flour and sugar substitutes are available for those on keto.

Are there health concerns with eating crumble cake?

What is an appropriate serving size for crumble cake?

How does crumble cake compare to fruit-based desserts?
