Allow the cake to cool before frosting. Cut the cake into 4 slices, serve and enjoy!

Notes

*Stevia/0 calorie sweetener –Be mindful of the conversion/sweetness level of the sweetener you use. The stevia used in this recipe is twice as sweet as sugar so 35g is sufficient. If the sweetener you use is a 1:2 ratio of sweetener to sugar, use the amount specified in this recipe but if it is 1:1, use 70g etc.
