How much sugar is usually in honey cake?

[KarenDeel]

I’m trying to watch my sugar intake and I’m wondering how much sugar typically goes into a honey cake. Does anyone have a rough estimate or a healthier alternative to suggest?

Honey cakes typically use about 1/2 to 1 cup of honey, which translates to around 70-140g of sugar depending on the recipe. For a healthier twist, you can try reducing the honey and replacing part of it with unsweetened applesauce or mashed bananas. They add natural sweetness and moisture!
