    interesting......it must not be like an angel food cake but a fat free coffee cake texture (which doesn't make sense either as the texture of coffee cake is from the butter)........I will have to try it......according to the nutritional facts below the whole cake is only 200 calories

    Okay maybe you can have your cake and eat it............the whole cake, ha, ha!!!!

    It's in the oven cooking! I was adding a recipe to MFP as the calories added up for 15 servings I was getting approximately 130 calories. I am I doing something wrong ? Cake mix (140 x12) 1680 + frozen blueberries 225 + corn starch 30 = 1965 divided by 15 servings = 131 calories. Just wondering if I messed up, that's much more than 25 calories per serving.

    Sounds right to me. I went to a website with the nutrition info of the cake mix. It has 32 carbs (23 sugar) grams in each serving. I wonder if OP failed to multiply nutrition by 12 before inputting into recipe builder

    Kinda new to MFP, don'tmknow how to post pics yet but the recipe is yummy. Light, fluffy and purple! I used two 9inch loaf pans and it turned out GREAT! It's just not 25 cal per serving, it's 131. Still a great treat and serving sizes are pretty big B/c each loaf has 938 calories in it.

    Yeah I think OP took 140 + 225 +30 and divided by 15. That got me to 26 calories. Still a great treat just not 25 cal.
