I made this yesterday for Thanksgiving and was very pleased with it. I used 3/4 cup of cocoa and that was plenty, it yielded a very very dark chocolate loaf that had a strong orange flavor. For sweetening I used 1/4 cup of Splenda Brown Blend and replaces the honey with Splenda regular. My pan was 9x5 and that made a flatter loaf, I'd use an 8x4 next time. High yumm factor if you like dark chocolate. :D
