    “I’m sharing SPLENDA® Sweetener Products in my life as part of a sponsored series for Socialstars™” #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps

    Labor Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than to gather with friends and family and enjoy a good meal. But just because it's a holiday doesn't mean you need to overindulge. You can still enjoy all the flavor of your favorite recipes by making a few simple swaps. I made an Angel Food Cake with less added sugar by swapping out traditional sugar for SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend. None of your guests will know this is a lightened up recipe because the flavor is exactly as you would expect from an angel food cake.

    This angel food cake with less added sugar is the perfect treat for when you want to indulge, but don't want to sacrifice taste. #ad #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps @SPLENDA

    If you have never baked with SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener, you are in for a treat. SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend is made with only cane sugar and stevia leaf extract, so it looks and acts like sugar but with only half the calories! In addition to using it for baking, I love it in my morning coffee. I use ½ teaspoon of SPLENDA® Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend and it gives me the same sweetness as a full teaspoon of traditional sugar. I love the fact that I only need to use half as much.

    Angel Food Cake with Less Added Sugar

    If you have ever made an angel food cake, then you know what a large part egg whites play in the recipe. It is very important not to get any yolk in the egg whites or the recipe will not work. You can avoid yolks altogether by using a carton of egg whites or you can just be extra careful when separating your eggs.

    One of the trickiest parts of making an angel food cake is removing it from the pan. To help with easy removal, let your cake cool completely in the pan while upside down on a baking rack. Once the cake has cooled, use a flexible spatula to loosen the sides from the pan. Push the spatula a little further to loosen the bottom of the cake. Your cake should come out easily after this.

    You can serve this angel food cake with less added sugar as is, or make it a little more festive. I topped the cake with some whipped topping and fresh strawberries. There are many varieties of whipped toppings available, including some with less added sugar, if you want to keep this dessert light. This certainly took the angel food cake up a notch. It looks pretty impressive, but literally took me just a few minutes to do.

    If you do plan to top the angel food cake with whipped topping, I recommend doing it just before serving. If you plan to have leftover cake, do not top with the whipped topping until you are ready to eat it.

      My brother loves angel food cake but he's also a really health-conscious guy so I'm going to have to try making this recipe for him! He'll definitely appreciate that there's less sugar.

      The cake looks so good. Interesting on using Splenda to reduce the sugar quantity. Thanks for sharing.

      That cake looks so yummy! I have a bit of a sweet tooth I'm not afraid to admit. I couldn't use the Splenda (or any artificial sweetener) as the aspartame makes me really sick but substituting for regular sugar I'd love to try this recipe.

      Looks just as sweet as it normally would. I've never baked with Splenda but I will have to try it out. I've used Stevia before though. Thanks for sharing the yumminess!

      Brilliant cake and still taking stevia is even better because the sugar causes several health damages. This makes it better to eat and very beautiful too.
