Abstract
Cake products (yellow, white and devil's food) as produced by commercial bakers for wholesale and retail markets and characterized by significantly prolonged shelf-life are produced by replacing 10 to 35% of the sugar and fat content of standard dough formulations for such bakery products with lactose. Specifically, lactose is used to replace 10 to 35% of the sugar or corn sugar content (sucrose, dextrose) or fat content (shortening), or both, in such standard formulations containing as a norm, 24 to 32% sugar and 8 to 13% fat. Shelf-life of the improved cake products, which is related to the tenderness or 'freshness' of the baked products, is prolonged 100 to 400%, or longer, as compared to the shelf-life of standard formulation cakes of the same type. Substantially increased volumes and external appearance scores are also obtained in comparison with said standard formulatin products.
