    Today I have partnered with Truvia® to prepare this gorgeous cake using their Truvia® Nectar.

    We love sweets and have late night sweet cravings regularly So I am always in search for sweet products with less calories. Recently during my visit to our local Target store I found this product Truvia® Nectar in bottles (100g and 300g). I immediately checked online about this and saw great reviews. I bought a small bottle and used it in my coffee as soon as I reached home, and again next morning with my bread and pancakes.

    Unlike other sweeteners, Truvia® Nectar comes packed with sweetness, so a very little goes a long way. Their website contains useful conversion charts for substituting conventional sweeteners with Truvia® Nectar. Having tried this product several times, I can confidently say that these converted measurements have worked perfectly in all the recipes that I have tried so far. Well as you may have guessed, I quickly ran out of Truvia® Nectar in the small bottle, and ever since I have only bought big 300g bottles 🙂 .

    Truvia Nectar Plum Cake / Honey Plum Cake

    Truvia® Nectar has 50% fewer calories per serving than sugar and adds a touch of sweetness wherever you would use agave, sugar or honey. Because Truvia® Nectar is a stevia-honey blend sweetener that is twice as sweet as honey, you only need to use half as much. I no more have to compromise on my sweet cravings because I am able to prepare almost all sweet recipes in half as much calories compared to before.You can check more details on this amazing product and store locations by visiting their homepage. Also order free samples of Truvia® Nectar right now.

    Coming to this cake, I generally add at least ¾ cup of sugar and 4 tablespoon of honey, but this time I substituted them with Truvia® Nectar and I just ended up adding only ¼ cup and 2 tbsp. Isn't that amazing! I was very happy with the result. I also used Truvia® Nectar to blanch and lightly caramelize the plums that were used for topping the cake. The cake was perfectly moist, flavorful and the caramelized fruit topping will make every bite of this irresistible.

    Generally cake recipes call for the addition of large amount of sugar, but now with Truvia® Nectar I can reduce the calories to half without compromising on sweetness or taste.  Yeah! Thank you Truvia®. I also prepared a no-bake cheesecake using Truvia® Nectar. I will also soon share the recipe for the same. This product is definitely a keeper. If you are a vegan, this would again be a great substitute for you.

    Hurry up guys, order your free sample of Truvia® Nectar right now and bake this gorgeous cake for your next party!
