Chocolate Cake
One serving of chocolate cake (one slice) carries about 2 mg of purine, 0% of a 400 mg day. The grade comes mostly from its added sugar, about 24 g of fructose. Eat this with caution, and watch your portion size.

What drives the grade
There is very little purine in this dish.
Keep the portion modest and balance the plate with vegetables. The sweet/sugary part also raises uric acid, so go easy on the sauce or sugar.
