Cakes are delicious, but we know they aren't always healthy. Many cakes contain sugar, white flour, and other ingredients that can be harmful to your health. However, there are many healthy cake recipes that you can make at home and enjoy guilt-free!
One of the easiest ways to make your cakes healthier is to substitute ingredients. You can use whole wheat flour instead of white flour, which is a healthier option as it contains more nutrients and fiber. You can also replace sugar with natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, or stevia sweetener.
