What quantity of xylitol do I use compared to sugar in my cakes?
The quantity of xylitol used in recipes depends on each individual’s taste. However, when using xylitol in recipes with white flour use a half cup xylitol to one cup of white sugar. Taste the batter and adjust if not sweet enough. A banana cake is going to need less xylitol than a lemon cake.If your first cake is not sweet enough you can make a thin glaze with the Perfect Sweet xylitol by adding a little lemon juice or water and spreading it over the cake. The icing will not behave exactly the same as normal icing as xylitol does not caramelize. Next time you bake that particular recipe add a little more Perfect Sweet Xylitol if you need it sweeter. You may also like to make a frosting.
