Upon reading a review on this recipe — Kasha found the cake to bitter , could have been the type of cocoa used we use Frys Cocoa powder, and find that this cake is not sweet, but not that we would say it is bitter and not pleasant tasting.
In the case of exchanging some of the cocoa powder, you would have to remove the exact amount of cocoa and replace with the exact amount of flour.
