If you want to hand out portions during the move
Portions that need no cutting are handy for helpers, housemates and lunchboxes. Jumbo lists the Peijnenburg Naturel 10-pack as ten 28 g portions, individually wrapped.
Which size is right for you?
If you’re stocking a shared kitchen
If the Dutch breakfast cake will mostly be eaten at home, a large cake may be enough. Jumbo lists, among other options, a 550 g plain Dutch breakfast cake. Bear in mind that you’ll need to cut or divide it yourself.
If you want to compare ingredients
Compare the ingredients list and nutritional information for the variety you’ve chosen, rather than relying on the wording on the front of the pack. For allergens, check the warnings on the current packaging too.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide whether portions need to be ready to take away or will mainly stay in the shared kitchen. Then check which packaging and ingredients suit the way you’ll use them.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Individually wrapped portions | The number of pieces, the weight of each piece and whether the pack explicitly says they are individually wrapped. | I want to give the helpers something to take away without having to cut it first; around 40% of consumers prioritise individually wrapped portions. |
| Shared kitchen stock | The total weight and whether the cake is sliced or unsliced. | The cake will mainly stay in the shared kitchen and I don’t mind dividing it myself; around 30% of consumers prioritise having a shared supply. |
| Ingredients and nutritional information | The ingredients list and nutritional values per 100 g and, where provided, per portion. | I’m looking for a specific variety and want to know what it actually contains; around 20% of consumers put this comparison first. |
| Allergens | The allergen information and warnings on the current packaging. | If there’s a relevant allergy, I need to be able to check the pack before sharing the cake; around 10% of consumers prioritise this check. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming ‘6 pieces’ means ‘individually wrapped’
The number of pieces alone doesn’t tell you how the portions are packaged. This matters if you want to put the Dutch breakfast cake straight into lunchboxes or hand it out without any extra preparation.
Look for ‘individually wrapped’ on the pack and, if needed, check the product photo or the packaging in store.
-
Treating wording on the front as complete product information
A claim about one ingredient doesn’t automatically tell you about the other ingredients, nutritional values or allergens. Product information can also change.
For the variety you’ve chosen, check the ingredients list, nutrition table and allergen information on the current packaging too.

Frequently asked questions
Which Dutch breakfast cake can I hand out without cutting during a student house move?
Choose a pack that explicitly says the portions are individually wrapped. Jumbo lists the Peijnenburg Naturel 10-pack as 10 × 28 g, individually wrapped; choose a pack with enough portions for everyone you want to give one to.
Does ‘6 pieces’ mean each piece of Dutch breakfast cake is individually wrapped?
No, the number of pieces alone doesn’t tell you that. Check the packaging description or look at the pack before choosing the cake for lunchboxes or handing out.
Where can I check the allergens in Dutch breakfast cake?
Read the allergen information and any warnings on the current packaging for the variety you’ve chosen. The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority explains how allergens must be listed on food labels. For example, Peijnenburg warns that its Naturel 10-pack may contain milk, hazelnuts, almonds and other cereals containing gluten.
Can I assume that all Dutch breakfast cake contains iodised baker’s salt?
No, you shouldn’t assume that for a specific Dutch breakfast cake. In 2008, the Dutch Government Gazette described an agreement on the use of baker’s salt by participating producers, including conditions and exceptions. Check the current product information or ask the manufacturer about the ingredients in the product you want to buy.
