Not sure how this is HEALTHY?? Where's the frosting, oh ya that's another 324.7 calories - PER SERVING; See "
COCONUT PECAN FROSTING" by same person. So in actual 1 serving would really equal 511.4 total - which puts this right up with the rest of them; So much for "healthy"?? Rated HOW? - 11/21/10

There's no recipe for the frosting -- no wonder the calories are so low! The cake sounds good. Where did the "incredible" rating come from? No ratings show. Thanks! - 11/14/10
