The Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen tested several recipes, including our favorite white cake recipe, with different sweeteners, including sugar and sugar blends. Our only change was to replace all of the sugar in each cake with a different sugar substitute. Using sugar as the "control," see how each sugar substitute performed.

11/4/2009 09:26:43 AM Report AbuseI would be interested to know how the sweetener Truvia (stevia plant) would have reacted in the test. Any chance of your using that one in a baking test? That's the only one I use now because it has no aftertaste, at least to me & my family. And it's all natural, I understand.
