    I wish!! No, it is 1/12 of the cake. Using a 9*13 pan, that still gives you a pretty generous slice. I scored the slices with a knife before cutting into it to make sure the pieces would be cut evenly.
    By the way, for anyone who makes this, store in the refrigerator.
    It was SO good...didn't taste the least bit healthy! :bigsmile:
