At a quick glance, I see a number of repeated items – such as:
Water (x3), sugar (x3), salt (x3), artificial flavor, artificial color, SOY LECITHIN (x3), MONO-& DIGLYCERIDES (x3), POTASSIUM SORBATE, DEXTROSE.

So the list can be shortened down to 40-50 (?). Maybe even shorter if I combine items such as egg yolk & egg white (egg).

I like this cake. I don’t eat them often. It’s always better NOT to eat cake, soda, cereal, pizza, donuts, chips, SPAM, fried food, etc… Because they will kill you. But, when I want cake, I go for Costco’s Chocolate Cake.

Fair points. Still 40-50 ingredients in cupcakes. . . and none of them being butter!
If you are looking for a good cupcake, try your local cupcake specialty retail store. And since you aren’t looking for quantity, you will enjoy the quality difference.

I will definitely try that. Cupcake sounds very good right now.
