Oh, sugar

1 1/2 cups of sugar for a whole cake doesn\'t sound overly dramatic to me. But, you can almost always reduce the amount sugar recommended in a recipe like this. Depending upon the recipe, I will commonly reduce the amount of sugar by 25% to 50%. This recipe has ripe banana, which is already sweet, so I\'d have no qualms about reducing the sugar to 1 cup at most. Alternatively, use an artificial sweetener especially for baking. I\'ll follow up after I have a chance to make this myself!

Looks good except for the sugar.

My husband is borderline diabetic and we are really watching the sugar intake. Is there any way to reduce the sugar with a substitute?
