Come on. Seriously? You are eating cake after all. You want less sugar? Eat less cake. Eat an apple, preferably Granny Smith. You’re going to take 5 tsp out of a cup of sugar, and say to yourself, “Wow, THAT will make a difference in my consumption of sugar.” WHAAAAAT???? You are still consuming 43 tsp of sugar, instead of 48. Eat one less cake out of two or three in a month, and you’ve cut your cake-sugar calories by a third, or in half. I love cake. I MAKE A TON OF CAKES. People clamor for my cakes. HOWEVER, if you want to cut sugar, cut sugar by eating less of a product which requires sugar. Don’t destroy the good things in life, eat them, make them with their full complement of sugar. Make them the best damn cakes you can. Just use common sense, and moderation.
