You know what’s sweet? Natural sugar. Sourced straight from Mother Earth’s greatest assets, natural sugar comes in many forms – from thick and sticky to fine and grainy. You’ll notice a few different varieties in this rich cake recipe, and there’s a really good reason for that: to prove you don’t need refined white sugar to treat yourself. After all, if real, whole fruit and nutritious nectar are nature’s candy, why can’t they be yours, too?
