Sometimes you want to have your Cake and eat it too. But if you’re like most people, watching your waistline and counting your calories, you might just pass up cake in lieu of something with fewer calories and less added Sugar.

Baked goods can be one of the most difficult food categories to remove sugar calories from due to the functional benefits sugar provides such as providing a pleasing texture and browning. However, if you get a little creative with the types of baked goods you make, and with the sweeteners you use, it can be accomplished in a way that will satisfy your sweet tooth without too much of an impact on your waistline.
