Jello Inside Cake, Regular Vs. Sugar Free
Baking By LukeRubyJoy Updated 26 Aug 2006 , 12:05am by LukeRubyJoy
There is a strawberry cake from scratch recipe on this site that everyone seems to like. I'm going to make it, and I have all the ingredients ALREADY IN THE HOUSE! YEAH!! BUT, I only have sugar-free jello. Can that be substituted 1:1 for the normal full-o-sugar jello? The weight is different (.3 oz for sf and 3 oz for full-o-sugar). Do you think that matters? I'm thinking it isn't going to be a problem, but if anyone has any experience with this, please impart your wisdom upon me 
Thanks, Sarah
Maybe I should add back the other 2.7 oz of sugar, but then it may be too sweet?, because sugar free jello still has sweetener, just artificial...which is pretty sweet itself> I think maybe I will cut the recipe in half and just do 2 6" rounds.....make a baby cake. Any further input would be great.....bump
It would most likely be too sweet if you add sugar to the sugar-free jello. In the time it is taking you to get a response, you could have gone to the store and gotten a regular jello! Sounds like nobody knows. It seems if you decrease the powder, the texture of the batter will change.
Maybe you could write to Jell-O!
I used it, it seems to be okay....I'll know more later when we actually eat it. When I have everything at home, it is nice to not go out anymore....especially having to drag out the kids.....for one stupid box of jello. It ends up being way more trouble than it's worth. So, anyway.....I'll post more later. Thanks everyone.
Okay...tasted the cake. It seemed pretty good, strawberry without being overwhelming. It seemed kind of dense, but it seems that all my scratch cakes are much more dense than the box mix....I don't think it was too dense. One thing, maybe you seasoned bakers can help me with, the very bottom seemed more dense than the rest of the cake. It wasn't gooey or undercooked, but seemed like maybe something settled to the bottom or something. It wasn't bad, so, just curious what that may have been. Will post a pic later. Thanks.
