It's hard to tell from your question if you want or don't want reduced oil and sugar.
Two guidelines in such a situation...
1) read the comments of others who have made the recipe. Many reduced the sugar even from what ATG117 posted and had better results.
2) if the head-note indicates a recipe that was the jumping off place, use your web browser and have a look at that, then compare to the food52 version. In this case, there is a Melissa Clark recipe you can look at.
