I hear what you're saying NT, but nevertheless, from my real-life
experience I find there's such a thing as food properties
counteracting each others' ill effects - to cause a good reaction.
I.E. it's just a matter of food combining. For example, granola or
orange juice in & of themselves may be too irritating, but when
accompanied with milk/cream, they become more tolerable.

And in the case of chocolate cake, my hunch tells me that the white
flour & eggs within chocolate cake may NOT build up in the body,
because the sugar & cocoa (also within choco cake) have the properties
of triggering digestion and thus propelling & expelling any potential
sticky build-up. And vice versa, any irritating (acid-reacting)
properties of the cake's sugar & cocoa are counterbalanced by the
lysine/mucuous properties of the eggs - toward a synergistic effect.

P.S. Back to the subject of barley malt, for anyone interested in some
more barley malt (& other) ideas, here are some healthy & filling
instant-snacks which can serve as either snacks or meals:

Rice cakes slathered with coconut oil & barley malt

Rice cakes slathered with coconut oil & rice syrup

Rice cakes slathered with sesame butter & barley malt (cheaper than
coconut oil

Rice cakes slathered with sesame butter & rice syrup (ditto)

(Molasses too, if you go for the stronger flavor. And molasses
provides iron.

And wash down the above snack with warm water or super-green powder
dissolved in water, or mullein tea, or decaf spearmint tea.
