Simply substitue Splenda where the recipe calls for sugar. Also if it calls for oil, use applesauce instead.
nope sorry
Check allrecipes.com for ideas
Use Splenda instead of regular sugar.


If it calls for butter, use applesauce.
I think you should go for as much fat as possible in a cake. I mean, isn't that why we eat cake..for it to TASTE GOOD.
