How do I make a cake without sugar, yet it still being delicious?!
Ps. I can't use splenda!
Answers:
A pie is much easier to make without sugar, you can substitute fruit juices for the sugar when you make the filling.
There are many recipes for making a sugar free cake. Most of the taste the same as with sugar. The next time you go shopping in a large chain market with a bakery, check for No Sugar Added cakes, you will find a large variety.

If you have a hard time finding whole wheat pastry flour, feel free to substitute unbleached all-purpose flour.
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
4 ounces unsalted butter, heated until just melted
1/2 cup dried dates, seeded and finely chopped into a paste
3 ripe bananas (1 1/4 cups), mashed well
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 3 medium)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or lowfat is ok)
2 eggs, lightly whisked
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup (or to taste)
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 9x5x3 / 8-cup loaf pan (or 8x8 cake pan) and line it with parchment paper.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the walnuts and set aside.
Stir the dates into the melted butter, breaking up the dates a bit.
In a separate bowl combine the bananas and carrots. Stir in the date-butter mixture, breaking up any date clumps as you go. Whisk in the yogurt and the eggs. Add the flour mixture and stir until everything just comes together. Spoon into the prepared pan. Bake for about 50 - 60 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean in the center of the cake - it'll be less if you are using a standard cake pan. Remove from oven and let cool.
While the cake is baking whip together the cream cheese and agave nectar or Maple Syrup. Taste. If you like your frosting sweeter adjust to your liking by adding more nectar or syrup. When the cake has completely cooled frost the top of the cake with an offset spatula.

here's one super light sugar version; one that uses syrup; applesauce is a common substitution, too.
Use this search string: recipes for world war 2 sugarless cake on Google; there are many, many recipes you can get ideas from.
make the cake without sugar, and pour honey or maple syrup on top, when the cake is done cooking, with or without chopped fruit..if you want to poke holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick the honey and syrup will soak down into the cake.

With Pure Organic Honey from Whole Foods Market
a dash of nutmeg
dash of pumpkin pie spice
maybe a touch of almond or vanilla extract
Honey could help, or cinnamon. You can also use vanilla extract :/
Use applesauce in your cake, might try spice cake with applesauce
If you are doing a cake without sugar like in WW2, I guess ripe bananas are out of the question. How about corn syrup or honey?
