Hello，
I want to make low-sugar cakes. Can I use maple syrup? If so, how to fluff up the cake? Or what is there instead of sugar? used to make cakes that always fell down after baking.

Vicky, what is the result of (3*f0ur)-(10/tw0) ?
No need to be mean.
There are a few solutions on the market. But you need to make sure it's for "baking". Sugar becomes a liquid when cooked, so without it your cake will be very dry. Maple syrup or honey is still sugar. So are agave, corn syrup, coconut sugar, and concentrated fruit sauces. Splenda has a "for baking" product that you can use as sugar substitute. It's formulated for baking, unlike the little packets you put in your coffee or tea.
As for why your cakes fall flat, that would depend on your recipe. A fluffy cake depends on your recipe. Some recipes rely on beaten egg whites gently folded into the batter, while others rely on the baking soda or baking powder.
Are you trying to limit sugar or bake for diabetics? If the latter, then blood sugar levels are affected by carbohydrates (flour) and natural fruit sugars as well. Best thing to do is to make small cakes with low sugar icing. Some lower sugar icings are Italian and French meringue styles, not the American style icing.
I want to make a diabetic cake. Where can I find low-sugar icings?
Sorry, there is no such thing as a diabetic cake. Diabetes deals with blood sugar levels and many types of flours affect that too, not just sugar.
For low sugar icings, you will have to look for sugar substitutes and check to see if they are okay for what you want to do with it. Most brands have their own special recipes on how to use their product. You cannot substitute fake sugar for regular sugar 1:1. The amounts will be different.
