Points, please?

5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
5 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

The ingredients are from a cake on NPR today (G)

Way too many. G

Hey, lady, I want facts, not editorial comments! (G)

Chopping the chocolate uses some activity points, no? I tend to beat
my egg whites by hand, also.

Do you REALLY want to know? You didn't specify how many servings ... this is what
mastercook spit out at me for the entire recipe (1 serving - just in case you feel
like eating all yourself):

3031 calories/ 239 g fat / 23 g fiber = 75.94 US points

Yikes, 239 grams of fat seems outrageous to me! If you cut it into 16 servings,
then it comes out to 189cal/15fat/1fiber = 4.83 US points. Does that sound
better?

Well, I DID want to know until I KNEW! (G)

Yup, I was hoping Joyce and ol' MasterCook would come through. (I
almost said ol' Joyce and Master Cook!!!!)

I did not determine serving size - it bakes in a 9" springform pan but
the recipe does not provide serving info. ONE sounds good! (G)

THANKS.

Just off the top of my head, the size of a 1/16th serving of this bomb has
to be about the size of a small egg.

It must be pledge week at KUOW or KPLU. Maybe they're trying to kill
off a few of their listeners in the hopes one of them has bequeathed
the station in his will.

No, serve it to guests or bring to potluck (G)

Yes, I would have SOME if I actually baked it. It does get baked -
does that cut down the points? (G)

Oh, someone has done some research (G) I did not hear it, well, I did
but on the web. A friend sent me the link.
