    That sounds delicious.
    Why would you post such negative comments on somebody's recipe? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that somebody else can't try it. Sorry that all of us are not organic vegans who eat next to nothing.

    I agree with hiker! We all need a treat once in a while. Sounds like a great birthday cake!

    I'm not a vegan, nor do I eat organic. I just question why high sugar, high calorie recipes are added, that is all.

    It's a very rich and seemingly sinful cake for not that many calories, that's why she would post it. She didn't say to eat it for breakfast everyday and lose weight.

    I looked up a similar full on recipe and it clocks in at 532 calories for 1/12 sized piece.

    Lighten up you ****s! Everything is healthy in the right quantity, even if that quantity is zero. A little slice of cake won't kill you or make you fat. Eating the whole thing will.

    ^^^ THIS! I want a LOVE button. :heart: :heart: :heart:

    this sounds like it's absolutely horrible for you.

    The recipes posted here are for healthier, nutritious foods... not cakes loaded with sugar and trans-fats and chemicals. This cake sounds delicious, but the recipe for it belongs on another site - one that isn't about fitness and making healthy choices.

    Assuming the math is right it is less than half the calories of the original version.

    Apparently don't get in between people and their cake. Noted. Enjoy it I guess.

    That's true. And I think it sounds reaaalllyyy tasty, and would make a great treat. I just feel like posting it on this site is a bit like putting a baskin robbins inside of a gym.

    It's easy to find recipes for treats on any food blog.

    This.

    This *kitten* sounds awesome. I'd eat it.

    You don't have to eat only vegetables for the rest of your life, you know.

    blah blah, lifestyle change, blah blah, not a diet, blah blah, moderation, blah blah...you get the point....

    EAT ALL THE THINGS!!!!!!!

    Everyone does realize that this section of the forums is called "Recipes", not specifically "Zero carb, zero calorie, zero fat meal ideas that I will probably try to always find something to criticize about because I'm feeling hormonal". And yes, MFP is primarily used for losing weight and eating healthily, but, once again, it doesn't specifically say what a person has to post about or what kind of things their recipe ideas should contain.

    Who knows, this recipe may be a great idea for a treat once in a while, or some sort of special occasion. Stop being so quick to throw around negative comments and get on with your own choices. Me oh my. :indifferent:

    A few people in this thread sound like they could use a slice of Butterfinger cake.

    For 174 calories per serving, this sounds like an absolutely reasonable treat. Thanks for the recipe, OP! :)
