Cake is low in purines but can raise uric acid due to its high sugar and fructose content.
Good
A small slice of cake is generally acceptable for well-controlled gout as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Bad
Large portions and daily consumption increase uric acid from fructose, worsen insulin resistance, and contribute to weight gain — a major gout risk factor.
