Is the baking soda used in this the Ener-G low sodium baking soda or normal “Arm&Hammer” baking sida most people think of? Asking becase I’m trying to figure out if I need to adjust the amount called for to achieve a proper rise and consistency? Dietitian Response: Apologies for the delayed response. Regular "Arm & Hammer" style baking soda is usually what is used in our baking recipes.

If I substitute Swerve for the sugar is this okay for diabetic, kidney disease, what is the nutritional value? The carbs are 19 g instead of 32 g and the calories are 178 per serving. The other nutrients are about the same.

We finally cut this cake! It was just sweet enough to satisfy the sweet tooth not to mention very moist!

I just took this out of the oven! It smells delicious! Can not wait for it to cool so we can try it! The cake was easy to make and that is a plus for our low sodium, low phosphorous and low potassium diet!
