I used Stevia instead of sugar and it was very chocolatey and cooked like a regular cake. Served it with sugar free vanilla ice cream, whipped cream & chocolate sauce.

Loved it! Rich, moist, and has a "deep chocolate" taste to it. Was a hit at the tea party I served it at. Next time think I'll serve it with a side of raspberry sauce!

I was hoping that my favorite tea would give the chocolate cake some additional flavor but it didn't. In reality, the tea is included to enhance the chocolate flavor similar to using coffee or espresso powder. It is a solid recipe but nothing special. I put cream cheese icing on top instead of powdered sugar for a lasting effect when served much later.
