Smart cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a sugar substitute in this Smart cake recipe?

Yes, you can replace sugar with alternatives like erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie option. Adjust amounts based on sweetness preference and the substitute's conversion guidelines.

How should I store leftover Smart cake, and how long does it last?

Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 ratio). Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add ¼ tsp per cup of flour for better texture.

What’s the best way to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan?

For extra assurance, line the greased baking dish with parchment paper after buttering and flouring. This guarantees easy release and minimal mess.

Yes! Fold in zest from 1 lemon or orange, a teaspoon of cinnamon, or ½ cup of chocolate chips/nuts after incorporating the egg whites for added flavor and texture.

How do I know when the Smart cake is fully baked?

Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, it’s done. The edges should also pull slightly away from the pan.

Dust with powdered sugar instead of cocoa, drizzle with caramel, or serve with fresh berries and whipped cream for an elegant dessert presentation.
