Verdit - After eating one slice it kept calling back for another. Robby actually ate this cake so knowing that he would be looking for a piece each day kept me from eating it all in one day.

The Low Down - I don't have a program that tells you everything but I figured out the calories based on the ingredients above. Serving size:1/20th is 322 calories. or 1/12th is 537 calories.
