sugarless cake recipe?
I'm trying to aim for a cake recipe that has no sugar (honey is perfectly fine though). If it calls for cocoa, fine. If it calls for butter, fine. Just no sugar, no chocolate chips of any sort, and no fruit (don't have any fruit like bananas, oranges, apples, mangos, etc.) Also there is poppy seeds that need to be used up and we have a couple of lemons.
(I'm just aiming for a not-so unhealthy cake- not enough carob powder and no bananas for the recipe I usually make.)

You could try using Splenda sugar. I know you said sugarless cake, but thats a non calorie sweetner so you could still aim for what you want and get the sweetness.
Honey sounds good too though :)
Good luck!
Just replace the sugar with candarel or another sugar substitute. You can lose the fat to make it healthy and make a fatless sponge, the BBC website has a good one.
