Your feedback
Good for you

Cake is low in purines, so it won’t directly raise uric acid from purine sources. Homemade versions with reduced sugar and whole grains can be a safer occasional treat.

Bad for you

High added sugar and fructose content, especially from frostings or high-fructose corn syrup, can spike uric acid levels and promote weight gain and insulin resistance.
