Finally incorporate slowly the Carbquick , salt and baking powder. Pour batter in greased pan 8 x 8. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Do not over cook. They should be firm to the touch on top but fudgy in the inside.

1 cup of Swerve Confectioner Sugar

Procedure:

Mix the butter with the cocoa powder and the vanilla. Slowly, add the confectioner sugar alternating with streams of warm Half and half. If you wanted the frosting to be more like a glaze, add more Half and half. If you like it more fudgy, let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
