1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan and line bottom with parchment paper; set aside.
2. Combine coffee and water in a cup; stir until coffee is dissolved. Cool. Stir in cream; set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine bake mix, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, cocoa powder, allspice, cloves and salt; set aside.
4. In a large bowl, with electric mixer on low, beat butter just until creamy. Increase speed to medium-high and beat butter until smooth and light in color, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar substitute. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping sides of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla.
5. Reduce speed to medium-low. Add bake mix mixture in three additions, alternating with the coffee-cream mixture and beginning and ending with bake mix mixture. Beat just until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat 10 seconds more.
6. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Run a knife around edge of pan, and invert onto wire rack; peel off parchment paper. Invert again onto a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut into squares. Dust with cinnamon, and serve warm or at room temperature.
