Check out Silda’s Jam for the best refined sugar free jam around!
Let’s have some delicious fun today! Mummy Cakes filled with Jammy Guts
Once again I have teamed up with Silda’s Jam for a healthier lower sugar option for your treats!
Mummy Cakes are stuffed with the best bloody strawberry jam there is!
Silda’s Jams are made with maple syrup not refined white sugar!
So rather than a mouthful of sugar you are getting a burst of fresh fruit in every bite!
I’ve also implemented my lower sugar reduced oil cake recipe for the sponge cake to go along with the slightly healthier theme of this dessert!
But you can of course take the easiest route and grab a Duncan Hines White Box Cake!
Duncan Hines Cake mixes are vegan and I have used their White Cake Box Mix by implementing my “Box Cake Hack” method following the same revisions as listed for the Yellow Box Cake on that recipe post
Reduced sugar buttercream is the icing on these mummy cakes for a really delicious treat that everyone will love!
Make your own royal icing eyeballs by following my vegan sprinkles recipe tutorial here!

Notes for Success:
Using monkfruit sugar as a one to one sugar alternative is my choice for baking cakes.
Check out my Sugar Free Baking article with video comparison here
Listed below in the ingredient section I have substituted half of the granulated sugar for Monk Fruit Sugar but you can use all granulated sugar if you prefer
Additionally I have replaced half of the original oil amount with applesauce but again you can use all oil or vegan butter (melted) if you prefer in the total amount of 18 Tablespoons

- Scoop batter with a 2 ounce cookie scoop evenly between the greased cavities of the Twinkie mold
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 18-20min or when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans until you can safely flip them onto a cooling rack to cool to cold

Notes
Mummy Cakes can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 one, but they are easier to handle when they are in the refrigerator
They will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 1 week
