Surely this is some kind of mumsnet treason. Working out the nutritional content of LDC Pah!
FFS it's an institution and has gotten many a mnetter through tough times.

I stuck all of the seperate ingredients in to Weight Loss Resources that gives you cals and breakdown of foods!

This was using lurpak light too so not sure how much more with normal butter

yes carmenere....why did you tell us PRA....why? I was feeling quite jolly until about 2 mins ago.

I still have half a cake in my fridge. How can I face it tomorrow, knowing what a naughty cake it is?

I'm going to press the red exclamation mark. It's my first time but I feel compelled to make a protest.

It must look less shocking as a per portion figure? I made a dozen muffins and a 1ib loaf so i guess - 20 portions in total?
Agree though, LDC is not about calories/fat its about pleasure, comfort and, if you ate teh whiole lot thats counts as one of your five portions of fruit and vegetables
