It is not as simple as that. Practically, 99% of the time they don't. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Do bread and healthy belong in the same sentence? Some breads would be considered healthy by you, right? What makes them healthy? They are made with coarsely ground whole grain flour, perhaps have seeds in them, no hydrogenated or palm fat, no chemicals for taste/preservation, etc, and no sugar. What if you make cake in the same way, but with a very low amount of sugar?

And if you take the very valid viewpoint that basically anything made from pulverized grains is unhealthy (high glycemic index), then any bread is not healthy (I am not even going into Paleo here). So, what about a flourless cake? Italian flourless chocolate cake is made from ground almonds instead of grain flour, and has eggs and cocoa powder. Wouldn't you call that healthy? I have not made any such cakes, but have had them a few times.

Just some things to think about.

Anyway, what are the ingredients of this snack cake? I went to the website and looked a bit, but couldn't really find the ingredients list.

Found it... looks alright, but they need to increase the fat and protein content to dampen the effect of the sugar and increase satiety. They do have 6 grams of fiber in 32 grams, which is impressive for any food (~20% fiber by weight).

No because even flourless cake has shitloads of refined sugar in it. People should treat dessert like dessert and eat it occasionally as a treat. It's like people who chow down on frozen yogurt by the bucket because it's "healthier" than ice cream.

As I said, sugar is under your control, if you are making it.

Some people like their cakes to be only about 1/3rd as sweet as what people typically eat/like/make.

A flourless chocolate cake with a small amount of sugar, *is* healthy. All the fat (good fat) and protein content would slow digestion and release of sugar into blood stream.
