Frequently asked questions

What are the cakes sweetened with?

Honey, maple syrup, dates, date paste or coconut sugar; some only with ripe bananas or apples. Any chocolate in the batter is sweetened with dates. That’s still sugar – enjoy the cakes in moderation.

Can I replace the sugar in a cake with honey?

Yes, but use a little less, because honey is sweeter. As it’s runny, use a little less milk or water and bake 10 to 20 °C lower, or the cake will brown too quickly.

What does ‘no refined sugar’ mean here?

No white sugar, no icing sugar or cane sugar, and no glucose or agave syrup. Honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar and dates are allowed. You’ll find the nutrition per serving with every recipe.
