This cake has 320 kcal per 100 g. Fat is 11 g and sugar 38 g per 100 g. Cake density varies enormously — a sponge slice and a pound cake slice of the same size differ by 100+ kcal. Weigh each piece, since "one slice" is a moving target.
How should I track Ravani (Semolina cake with syrup)?
The trickiest part about tracking Ravani (Semolina cake with syrup) is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that calorie-dense foods are underestimated by 50–200% when portioned by eye. Weighing on a scale takes the guesswork out. And here is the mindset shift that helps: tracking sweets is not about guilt. It is about awareness. When you log a treat honestly, you can plan around it and still hit your targets for the day.
