can i substitute i can't believe it's not butter fat-free spread for regular margarine? can i substitute splenda baking sugar for regular sugar? does it call for vanilla extract in the recipe or is it real vanilla? and would it taste completely different if i didn't put in cinnamon and nutmeg?

You can use oil (vegetable oil) instead of margarine, honey for sugar and vanilla extract is liquid vanilla flavor, if you didn't put cinnamon and nutmeg will not change the test but chance the aroma, just smell of vanilla, Good luck
