What is it with all these supposedly good-for-you companies selling overly sugar-laden food? This cake, bought from Macro Cafe, a cafe promoting macrobiotic eating and carefully labelling their food with symbols connoting gluten free etc., was, like the almond cake I had the other day, stupidly sweet. I mean, it's a cake, so it's supposed to be sweet I know, but not to this extent. For one there was hardly any rhubarb in it, and only once did I get a hint of citrus-ey taste. The generous topping of almonds which originally attracted me to this cake was not caramelized like the word 'toffee' suggests, but just coated in schtickey sugar. I was originally intending to return for their buckwheat and coconut hotcakes, but I'm not so sure anymore...
