Those who want to replace sugar with honey in their kitchen should know that 150ml-175ml of honey is as sweet as 200g of sugar and contains much fewer calories. The oven temperature has to be 15-30C degrees lower compared to sugar-based cooking. If you are making sponge cake with honey, you need to add an extra 3 spoonfuls of flour for every 200ml of honey. For cakes that contain other liquids, add 50ml less liquid for every 200ml honey. If this is the first time you try using honey recipes, use lighter tasting honey such as acacia and then gradually go for stronger flavors so the new experience won't surprise you.
