150g Butter
3 Eggs
3/4 Cups Brown Sugar

Sounds like a nice recipe. It will be calorie dense, but it's neither healthy or unhealthy, as long as it fits your calories and macros.0

Looks good! You could substitute all or some of the butter with unsweetened applesauce, use wholewheat SR flour and reduce the sugar maybe if you're fussed about calories0

take out the brown sugar and use rice malt sugar, found in supermarkets or health shops. I would use a little less than the sugar measurement, maybe 1/2 cup plus a dollop more. The sugar in your recipe is the bad thing. The rest is fine. Unless it taste real good and you eat too much of it0

How is sugar "the bad thing"?

Don't eat the whole cake in one go and I'm sure you'll be fine0
