What to know about Amul Magic Black Forest Ice Cream Cake
A celebration cake that is mostly sugar and cream
Amul Magic Black Forest Ice Cream Cake is a 350 g (500 mL) frozen cake built from vanilla ice cream (52.9%), eggless chocolate cake (28.5%), dark chocolate shreds on top (12.9%) and a chocolate ripple (5.7%). It is bought as a ready-made dessert for birthdays and family gatherings, with no baking or assembly.
A serve is 87.5 g (125 mL) and the pack holds four. One serve has about 241 kcal, 4.8 g protein, 19 g added sugar and 6 g saturated fat. Per 100 g that is 275 kcal, 21.9 g added sugar and 6.9 g saturated fat. Sodium is modest at 179 mg per 100 g, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.
The name says Black Forest, but no cherry or other fruit is in the list. What you get is chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream and chocolate. The eggless claim holds, since no egg is listed, and the pack states it contains milk and wheat. CleanPlate scores it EC4.
Why Amul Magic Black Forest Ice Cream Cake scores EC4
Nutrition is an E because the cake is mostly sugar and refined flour, with 5.5 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are a C because of many additives, and risk is a 4 on 21.9 g added sugar per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 5.5 g per 100 g, mostly from milk solids, and no fibre is declared. Energy is 275 kcal per 100 g, and the carbohydrate is largely sugar, with 21.9 g added sugar per 100 g.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. In one 87.5 g serve that is about 4.8 g protein for about 241 kcal.
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
The label is honest: the promises on the pack are matched by the list, so there is no label penalty. The points lost are for additives. Carrageenan (407) costs the most, and the caramel colours 150c and 150d, calcium phosphates (341) and the flavouring substances each cost ingredient points.
Stabilisers guar gum (412), locust bean gum (410), xanthan gum (415) and pectin (440), and emulsifiers 471, 476 and 477 and lecithin (322) each cost a small amount. They add up across the four layers, which holds the grade at a C. No hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
