Nutritional Facts for Swiss Cake Rolls

Swiss Cake Rolls are a Little Debbie cake treat filled with vanilla cream and coated in chocolate. Little Debbie sells the small cakes in packs of two or in boxes of 12. Like most sweet treats, enjoy Swiss Cake Rolls in moderation. Understanding the nutritional content will help you make an educated decision about including them in your diet.

Calories and Fat

Each twin-cake package packs 270 calories, with 110 calories from fat. Almost 50 percent of the calories are from the 12 g of fat. Saturated fat makes up 3 g of the total fat content, which is just over 25 percent of your daily recommended intake.

Cholesterol and Sodium

Two Swiss Cake Rolls contain 15 mg of cholesterol, or 5 percent of your recommended daily intake. The 140 mg of sodium in each serving is the equivalent of 6 percent of your daily recommended intake.

Carbohydrates and Protein

Swiss Cake Rolls contain 38 g of carbohydrates per serving, with 25 g from sugar. The simple carbohydrates metabolize quickly and can result in a rapid increase in blood sugar. The 2 g of protein do little to offset the carbohydrate impact.

Considerations

Swiss Cake Rolls are high in sugar, fat and cholesterol. All of these factors contribute to heart disease, high cholesterol and circulatory problems. Consume Swiss Cake Rolls in moderation to avoid long-term health complications.
