How is ANY cake truly HEALTHY with all its cholesterol laden butter, saturated fat containing eggs, and mounds upon mounds of sugar? It is NOT fair to rate a recipe with one star just because YOU do not care for the use of certain ingredients and therefore did not even try it. That lowers the overall score of the recipe, not based on the recipe itself, but solely on your condemnation of certain ingredients contained therein.  As far as Cool Whip being so unhealthy, is just ONE tablespoon of heavy whipping cream which contains 52 calories and 5.5 grams of fat, including 3.4 grams of artery-clogging saturated fat really a better choice? Somehow I think not. And in all fairness and honesty, who has the right to slam others (and more often than not people they don't even know) about their choices in ingredients? If you don't like a recipe or its ingredients, just scroll on by and find one you DO like. It isn't necessary nor required that you leave the nasty comments and one star because it doesn't \"fit\" you.  If you decide to leave ME a nasty comment on my comment, I'll simply take my own advice and scroll right past it.As far as the cake goes, it's awesome and my family LOVED it! Super easy and great for those times you need something when you're short on time.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2010-05-21","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Sandflea63"},"reviewBody":"I would make it again but I would use pineapple juice instead of water.
