Taste Experience of Britannia Cake Gobbles Milky Masti
While opening the pack, I can sense a strong milk aroma. After taking out a cake slice, the aroma is different. I can sense mixed aroma which includes a strong milk aroma, mild vanilla and mild egg aroma.
The treat is rectangular in shape, the outer layer is brown in colour and the inside treat is mild white in colour. The top surface of the treat is raised slightly and the bottom of the treat looks flat. Outer layer of the treat has some small pores and it is easily visible to the naked eye.
On touching the outer layer of the treat, some baked particles stick to the fingers. When picking up, the treat feels comfy. The texture of cake delivers some slight roughness while touching. When pressing the cake in fingers, it is spongy and easily divided into different sizes.
The cake smoothly gets cut on biting. After the treat touches our tongue, it is dry and quickly delivers a sweet feel in the tongue. The treat is easy to chew and one can easily feel the taste of milk. The milk taste is felt in the tongue when chewing, cake quickly melts in the mouth.
After eating, a sweet feel is present in the tongue for a few minutes besides some slight waxy feel for a few seconds. The waxy feel is cleared by rinsing the mouth.
Britannia Cake Gobbles Milky Masti’s Ingredients
Source : Wheat Grain
How : The wheat bran is separated from the wheat grain. Then the endosperm (starchy white) part of the wheat grain is separated by milling and then they are grounded to produce refined wheat flour.
Why : Refined wheat flour is the base ingredient used in making Gobbles Cake.
Source : Sugarcane
How : From sugarcane, the juice is extracted, heated, filtered and purified. Then the juice is evaporated to produce sugar.
Why : Sugar gives sweetness and provides texture to the cake. It helps to retain moisture when combined with water and gives the cake moistness and softness. It also improves the colour of the cake by undergoing a chemical reaction called Maillard reaction.
Source : Poultry farm
How : Eggs are beaten, and used in making the cake.
Why : Eggs help to give soft texture and act as a binding agent. It also provides stability and structure. Fat content in eggs gives richness and flavour to the cake.

How : The oil type or the fat is not mentioned. So the process can’t be defined as the processing methods vary according to the type of oil and the source is not mentioned. But from the name, it is clear that it is hydrogenated oil. Thus hydrogen gas is allowed to pass through the oil to get required consistency and shelf life of oil.
Why : Hydrogenated vegetable oil gives texture and improves the softness of the cake.
Source : Corn Syrup
How : Corn syrup is purified and crystallised. Then it is mixed with water and then heated to produce maltose syrup.
Why: Maltose syrup provides texture, flavour and also improves colour as well. It also helps to add sweetness and as well as density to the cake.

Britannia Cake Gobbles Milky Masti’s Packaging

Here, it is a lightweight and transparent plastic tray. This packaging prevents the treats from breaking during handling. Also keeps the cake in a neat manner for easy packaging and for presentation.
The secondary packaging prevents the treat from damages from outside the pack. This pack also delivers necessary information to consumers. This pack acts as a barrier between treat and outer environment. The packaging number present in the pack is recycle number 7 which is the ‘other’ category of polymers. It keeps the treat fresh for a long time and protects the pack from heat, moisture content and insects.

Other Breakdowns in Britannia Cake Gobbles Milky Masti
Milky Masti name and Milk splash illustration!!!
Didn’t that give us curiosity to know how much milk is added to the Cake?
The Gobbles cake contains milk, added in the form of milk solids. The milk solids are present about 2.8 % which is 2.8 grams per 100 grams of cake.
Can you believe 2.8% milk solids give such a strong flavour? If 2.8% milk solids can’t, then what is the possibility?
Well, you may have guessed it! Yes, it’s from the artificial flavouring added to the cake. The artificial flavourings added are milk and vanilla which increase the flavour profile without considering the amount of the ingredients added.
Why are hydrogenated oils used here?
To mimic the mouthfeel and the experience, when we use egg or butter . Also the cost of the cake would go high, when we depend on butter. So, a hydrogenated version of oil is added to give taste experience similar to fat from butter but at a reduced cost. This is the reason that hydrogenated vegetable oil is used in Cake Gobbles.
