TRIED AND PROVEN Splenda cake recipes?

I know I could go to any one of a zillion websites and get any one of a zillion cake recipes where you use Splenda instead of sugar. That's not what concerns me. I'd like to know which recipes people here have PERSONALLY tried, swapping out Splenda for sugar, that turned out okay. Especially with respect to texture.





If possible, I would like to avoid using the Splenda Blend for Baking, since the whole point is the person I'm baking for cannot have sugar and the Blend contains sugar.





Blah blah Splenda sucks blah blah Stevia blah blah...I work with what I have on hand, and what I know the person will eat. Don't even bother.TRIED AND PROVEN Splenda cake recipes?
I found a great recipe for a spice cake that only calls for about 3T of brown sugar...and I used the splenda brown sugar in it. It really is a good recipe. I also omitted the spices (cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon) and replaced them with a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. It made it a yellow cake. This is a good one...not too sweet, but it was a hit at my last birthday part for my step daughter (she is diabetic) Here is the recipe


1/3 C margarine


3Tablespoon brown sugar replacement (Splenda Brown Sugar)


2 Eggs


2teaspoon cinnamon


1teaspoon ground cloves


1 tsp nutmeg


2 C flour (sifted)


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup water


1 cup sour cream.





Cream margarine and brown sugar together, then add the eggs. Blend until smooth. Add spices. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Alternate the flour mixture with the water while mixing. Stir in the sour cream. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350.


**you can add 1/2 Cup raisins and 1/4 c chopped walnuts for a little extra kick.


This recipe is a little more dense than a regular cake, but not like some of the rocks I have baked with Splenda recipes...


I have a recipe for a Cool whip frosting that can be made totally sugar free if you would like it.TRIED AND PROVEN Splenda cake recipes?
