Substituting Equal for Sugar in Baking Question

[lisagail5]

I have a receipe for a sponge cake that calls for 1/2 cup of sugar and
1 cup additional sugar. If I substitute Equal for the sugar, do I use less Equal?

Thank you for your help.

I don't think Equal measures the same as sugar unless you have a product that's made for baking (different from the packets for coffee).

Also, sugar does more than sweeten in a cake recipe. The recipe may not turn out right.

I think splenda taste much better and doesn't have that after taste.

i use both of the white splendas and a brown sugar one they also make. it works well but i don't think so in sponge cake or angel food cake...........anything that uses sugar for structure. good luck
