I’m confused. The carbohydrate and sugar numbers per serving of this cake are far great than one point. Can you please explain? Thanks.
Emily V says
Did you calculate the info in WW? I did, and it shows that each slice is 8 points!!!
Emily V says
How does this recipe calculate to 1 point? The calories, fat, sugar, and carbs are way too high for that.

It’s not a healthy option, please calculate the points, I did and find that that cake alone is 6 points!!
