That’s according to Sydney pastry chef Christopher Thé and researchers from the University of New South Wales, who have cooked up a brain-friendly cake for NSW’s Meals on Wheels 70th birthday. But if you’re thinking of a Victoria sponge, think again… The ‘Unforgettable Cake’ is chock-full of ingredients like beetroot, spinach, olive oil, turmeric, and pumpkin – all known to give the grey matter a boost. UNSW food and health expert Johannes Le Coutre says the thinking behind it is that “specific ingredients can play a role in the onset of cognitive decline by fixing damage as it occurs”. And the icing on top? It’s also designed for those who have trouble swallowing. So next time you’re feeling a bit foggy, here’s where you can buy a slice or score the recipe when you donate to Meals on Wheels.
