What to know about Amul Cake Magic Dark Chocolate
Ice cream on brownie, heavy on saturated fat
Amul Cake Magic Dark Chocolate is a frozen dessert in a 750 mL (420 g) tub. It is 74% chocolate ice cream made from milk solids, sugar and cocoa solids, sitting on 24.8% eggless chocolate brownie cake base built on sugar, refined wheat flour (maida) and palmolein oil, with 1.2% chocolate vermicelli on top. It is bought as a family-size treat, and the eggless label suits vegetarian households.
Per 100 g it has 285 kcal, 6.2 g protein, 25.2 g total sugar (17.1 g of it added), 16.4 g fat and 9.4 g saturated fat. The pack declares 0.9 g trans fat per 100 g. A 100 mL serve is 56 g, which works out to about 160 kcal, 5.3 g saturated fat and 9.6 g added sugar. Sodium is low at 47 mg per 100 g.
The name promises dark chocolate, and the list gives cocoa solids in both the ice cream and the cake, with no percentage and with sugar listed ahead of the cocoa. The eggless claim holds. The ingredient list also carries a long run of gums, emulsifiers and a flavouring. CleanPlate scores it EC4.
Why Amul Cake Magic Dark Chocolate scores EC4
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 6.2 g per 100 g and nothing else adds credit. Ingredients are a C, held back by gums and emulsifiers. Risk is a 4 on 9.4 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 6.2 g per 100 g, and the pack's largest protein source is refined wheat and the vermicelli, so it earns little credit. Sugar is 25.2 g per 100 g, with 17.1 g added.
No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade, which lands at the bottom.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C
Milk solids, sugar and cocoa solids lead the ice cream, and sugar, refined wheat flour and cocoa solids lead the cake. The additive list is long: carrageenan (407) and carboxymethyl cellulose (466) cost the most ingredient points, and 466 is used in both the ice cream and the cake.
Guar gum (412), xanthan gum (415), glycerol (422), diphosphates (450), and emulsifiers 471, 477 and 481 each cost further points. The artificial flavouring and caramel colour (150a) add small costs. The preservatives 200 and 282 are listed in the cake, but cost no points. No label promise is hollow, so nothing is lost there.

High risk
- Added sugar
- 17.1 g
- Sodium
- 47 mg
- Saturated fat
- 9.4 g
- Trans fat
- 0.9 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 9.4 g per 100 g, almost twice the 5 g high line, and 5.3 g in one 100 mL serve. Added sugar of 17.1 g per 100 g and declared trans fat of 0.9 g per 100 g add to it.
No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared trans fat is accepted as printed. Energy adds a little and sodium at 47 mg per 100 g adds almost nothing.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
