Hi
I am needing to make a victoria sponge cake and looking at the list of items needed it say 200 g caster sugar, now as I am type 2 , I will need to use a swetener sub for the caster sugar, the main thing I have a problem is that 200gm of sugar and 200g of swetner are the same weights, BUT the volume is as much as the 1-2 KG bags of sugar,
So my question is how much swetener should I use ?, I cannot find an answer on various food and diabetic web sites - so currently stumped on the whole amount as if you look at a large container of swetener it is only 75g, and is almost the same physical size of 1kg of sugar.
I am thinking of around 50gm of swetener for a standard cake
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance
Michael
