1what kind of cake is it? Sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, can increase the perceived sweetness of a cake, but they will also influence the final taste. Adding fruits or sweet vegetables, like@johanna suggested, can increase the sweetness of a cake too, but I guess your cake will be quite different from the original... – Andrea Shaitan Nov 17 '18 at 23:47

If you don’t want to change the cake itself (because it needs experience and just using less or more sugar can ruin the cake texture), you can always add a small amount of something very sweet to the baked cake, either when finishing it or when serving.
For example, consider
- a sugary glaze
- a syrupy drizzle
- a sweet filling
Match the flavor to your cake, for example picking
- sugar icing
- a fruity jam or lemon curd
- caramel
- a (Swiss) meringue topping
- ...
The trick is to make sure that the sweet addition hits your palate first, which means you will perceive an intense sweetness without really using a lot of sugar. You can even combine this with using a low-sugar (= not very sweet) cake recipe as the base.
