There are lots of high quality granulated sweeteners available from the supermarket, such as Canderel Sugarly, and Natvia.

The sweetener we use is the same weight and sweetness as sugar. If you are using a powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners weigh less.

So light and fluffy and a tasty treat with a cuppa. Decided to make mine a round cake instead. Instead of salted caramel I used peanut butter powder to make a frosting - so a chocolate and peanut butter cream cake 🎂
