Comments
As far as the sugar replacement goes, how much does "half each" equal?? Half of a little package of Sweet 'n Low?
I need to know very soon, I have to make the cake on Friday.
Thank you!
Thanks for your comment, just updated the recipe, now it is completed, enjoy this delicious cake!
Thank you so much! We will enjoy it!
that recipes stinks it does not come out cream like other homemade cakes and it is really bitter if you wanted to make a diabetic chocolate cake you should at least make sure it tastes good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this -- made it twice so far. Thank you!
Hey, so we have a newly diabetic person in our house, and we wanted to make them a cake for their birthday-- but the recipe doesn't mention where you add in the sugar/fake sugar or butter? (I'm not a Baker, but I can usually follow a recipe.. I'm just wondering where this other stuff goes in? X'D)

How does this work with the flour for a diabetic?
