    This cake is divine. I used hersheys special dark cocoa powder and swapped out the milk with diet rootbeer, and used a mixture of stevia, abd xylitol for sweenter. This far exceeds other carbquick cakes ive tried. Totally curbed my chocolate craving without sabotaging my diet. Thank you for your recipe!!
