How can I substitute sugar in my baking recipes?

There are several alternatives to sugar you can use in baking, such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia. What type of recipe are you working on?

I'm making a cake. Can I use honey instead of sugar?

Yes, you can use honey! Generally, you should use about 3/4 cup of honey for every cup of sugar, and reduce the liquid in the recipe by about 1/4 cup.

Will it change the texture of the cake?

Using honey can make the cake denser and moister. It may also add a slight flavor, so keep that in mind!

What about using stevia? Is it a good option?

Stevia is a great low-calorie option! However, it's much sweeter than sugar, so you'll need to use much less—typically about 1 teaspoon of stevia for every cup of sugar.
