i am trying regular recipes but changing sugar to splenda/splend blend and all purpose flour to white wheat flour as i am learning how to cook and bake for diabetic me.I went on King Arthur flour site to see what they had to say about White whole wheat flour and here it is.. White Whole Wheat Flour Milled from white whole wheat, rather than red, unbleached King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour has all the fiber and nutrition of traditional whole wheat, with milder flavor and lighter color. Thus, white whole wheat is a great way to add whole grains to your family's diet. Start by replacing 1/3 of the all-purpose flour in your favorite recipe with white whole wheat flour; gradually increase the percentage of whole wheat until your baked good's flavor and texture are just the way you like them. We find that in cookies, muffins, pancakes and quick breads, using white whole wheat flour in place of the entire amount of all-purpose flour yields a baked treat that's just as tasty as the original, with the benefit of increased fiber, vitamins and minerals. Having showed you that (for my diabetic friends on JAP)I am posting the regluar recipe for the Pound cake and what I subsituted for sugar and flour.. When I was making this cake I was wondering if it would go bouncing all over the floor and be hard as a rock LOL Because I have to tell you this is my first attempt of baking with whole wheat flour. But I will NOT go without my goodies so having said that I will go type out the recipe!

That will be my preferred method from now on!!
