10 Best Healthy Cakes UK | Ready to Eat Cupcakes Cake Mixes and More

Is there a perfect healthy cake? This cake mix from Groovy Keto Store certainly comes close. All you need to do is mix it up and bake it and you will be rewarded with a light and fluffy sponge that is full of the traditional carrot cake spices.

Being keto means this recipe is both low in carbs and has no added sugar, making this an excellent option for not just those following a keto or low-carb diet but also anyone with diabetes. Make a whole cake to share or pour it into muffin cases for a grab-and-go healthy treat as and when. 

The worst thing for children with intolerances is when they head to a party and find that they can't eat any cake. Thanks to these cute cupcakes from Tesco, they can. With adorable animal faces, they look the part while not causing any internal problems. 

Sadly, they're not suitable for vegans as they contain egg, but they are free from gluten, wheat and milk so they do cover some of the major allergens. Despite that, they don't scrimp on flavour – the chocolate is equally as rich and delicious as the non-free-from counterparts on the market.

Another cake option for those suffering from allergies, these handy cake slices are ideal if you are expecting guests who have intolerances. With five in a pack, they provide a tasty, affordable and indulgent treat without the need for an extra-large cake. 

Made from ground almonds, the sponge is particularly scrumptious with many gluten-free reviewers stating it to be the best they've had. Be warned though, these slices are still high on the fat and sugar front, so they are not suitable for those with diabetes. 

From Diablo we have this delicious orange cake which is both Halal and Kosher certified. Completely sugar-free – 0 grams – it is suitable for those following a no refined sugar diet. It is instead made with natural sweeteners to ensure none of the flavour is lost. 

This option is available as a pack of two as well as in other flavours too, all sealed individually, so why not stock up to have a few in the cupboard for days when you need a little pick-me-up? 

Scandinavia is well known for its sugary treats, which is why this cake mix from Norway has us salivating. What's even better than a delicious cake? One that doesn't have sugar! Sukrin has replaced the refined sugar in this recipe with a lower-calorie alternative. 

On top of being sugar-free, this cake is also rich in fibre, which is great for digestion, and it's even high in protein. In addition, the mix itself is vegan, so there's the possibility of experimenting with egg substitutes if needed. The box is able to create a decent-sized cake or up to 12 muffins. 

Our most reasonable cakey option, this offering from Asda provides 5 slices of zingy lemon cake for under £2. For those with dairy or gluten intolerances, these slices provide the perfect alternative to the much-loved English classic – lemon drizzle cake. 

Whilst these cakes are not suitable for vegans, they are for vegetarians and the handy pack is perfect for storing in the larder and bringing out when an unexpected guest drops by. Those without any allergies will love them too. 

Another offering from Diablo, these delectable chocolate cakes come in a pack of four, each made without sugar but with the added benefit of maltitol sweetener to ensure a rich and delicious flavour.

Like Diablo's orange slices, these are also Halal, Kosher and made with absolutely zero grams of sugar to make them suitable for diabetics. They don't come cheap though, so maybe save these for a special occasion. 

Diabetic-friendly, yes, keto, paleo and plant-based, yes – you name it, this cake does it. Catering for almost every requirement, this red velvet mix can be combined with water and baked to create a vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free cake using only natural ingredients. It even comes with a sweetener blend for the frosting. 

While most box cakes are made in labs, this company pride themselves on hand-mixing their batches in a real kitchen with a real chef. This is another fairly expensive option though, and won't feed that many hungry mouths. 

Waitrose are a well-loved brand noted for their exceptionally high-quality produce. This vegan cake is no exception. A light and fluffy sponge is combined with a decadent layer of vanilla icing, all without milk or eggs. With its colourful sprinkles too, it is a great pick for a birthday or kid's party.

Made with natural ingredients, you don't have to worry about any unhealthy additives. One thing to note is that as far as healthy cakes go, this is still high on the sugar and fat quota, so it's best to keep this as an occasional treat. 

This cake is high on the fats and sugar front, so it's not quite a fully healthy dessert. However, it has made our list due to its natural ingredients and the fact that the manufacturers have omitted all artificial colours and hydrogenated fats.

This UK-made cake is vegan-friendly and nut-free too, but again it does so without sacrificing a delicious, rich chocolate flavour. As this reasonably sized cake serves 8, it is ideal for families or small parties.
