Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, beat the egg whites until fluffy before mixing with other ingredients. If you prefer, you can substitute the Sugar Twin with another sugar substitute that measures like sugar. For added flavor, consider incorporating a splash of vanilla extract. If you want a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix instead of Duncan Hines.
