Sugar Free Vanilla Cake

"Yeast is the beast". Since 5 years, we are on GFCF diet successfully.  I used to bake breads, cakes, cupcakes, muffins and cookies for my son. My son had yeast issues but still I could not control his sugar intake as he loves sweet goodies. I tried several recipes by replacing sugar with stevia, honey, agave nectar, but was never successful. I tried xylitol first time and my recipe was perfect. Finally, I have recipe for sugar free vanilla cake.
