It is not often that you find anyone saying that cake is good for you. 

The mindset is that cake is fattening and unhealthy, and you know how the saying goes, too much of a good thing is never a good thing. 

But this mindset might soon change if what these scientists and chefs are proposing proves to be true. 

"A pastry chef has teamed up with experts to invent a cake that may boost your brain health. The ingredients sound like ones that could be used to make a delicious salad. Spinach, turmeric, pumpkin, beetroot," make up some of the ingredients, according to Christopher Thé, the pastry chef in charge of bringing the recipe to life."

These are all ingredients that have had some link with boosting brain health. But there has been no testing done as yet, therefore this is all in theory for now.

"The recipe for this "unforgettable cake" also includes ingredients such as olive oil, and cinnamon. No clinical test has been done to prove the cake’s benefits for the brain. But the team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia says the ingredients have been linked to improved blood and oxygen flow."

This is revolutionary for the cake lovers. Sounds like a plan...
