Why the fat difference?

Cooked a pudding tonight (cool and rainy here)...
It was from a Family Circle Classic Essential Puddings Recipe book which has nutritional breakdowns.

I tossed up between Pineapple upside down cake and Eve Pudding (which is basically plain cake on apples)

The PUC listed the fat content as 25g/serve and EP 2.8g/serve

I am confused how this can be so different

PUC has 125g butter plus 90g for the base bit and 2 eggs. Divide by 8 Serves

EP has 125g butter and 2 eggs. Divide by 6 serves.

Yes one has 90g more butter, but there's no way that would make it that much more fat content, could it? Perhaps EP is a typo??

Or am I missing something???

How much sugar does each have?

**Floweryfields** · January 28th, 2012, 06:23 PM

PUC has 3/4 cup, EP has 1/2. PUC has 1 tin of pineapple rings on base. EP has 1.2kg of GS apples on base.

Does the PUC have milk in it? Or buttermilk or sour cream?

Can you list all the ingredients and the total volume cake each produces?

Btw- it's not "fat" content that's the real problem. It's sugars. Refined flour converts to sugar as well.
