Diabetic cake recipe About This Page:

About 2 months ago my BIL found out that he was diabetic. Wednesday is his birthday and I'd like to make a cake or something for him at work. Anyone got any good recipes that I could use?

Thanks!

I'd love to hear any ideas as wel, as my dad's diabetic and he loves cakes. He's due down in November and it would be great if I could make one for him.

I found one called "Better Than S E X" cake. If it turns out and taste good I'll post the recipe.

I was going to ask if he ate cheesecake, because I have the BEST Sugar Free REAL cheesecake that he'll go wild over it he eats cheesecake. You have to remember that flour will spike blood sugar as well, so that may be something to consider.

This is the recipe I made:

1 package of yellow cake mix
1/2 c. skim milk
1/4 c. water
1/3 c. canola oil
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1 c. nonfat plain yogurt
1 (4-serv) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (4 oz.) bar German chocolate, grated
1/3 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Preheat over to 350. Coat a 10" bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In large mixing bowl combine cake mix, milk, water, oil, eggs, egg whites, yogurt and pudding.
Beat slightly, only until mixture is mixed.
Stir in grated chocolate, choc. chips and pecans
Pour into pan.
Bake 45-55 mins., or until inserted toothpick comes out clean
Do not over bake
Cool 10 minutes and invert onto serving plate

I did change a few things--I bought a Reduced sugar cake mix (devil food) and sugarfree choc. pudding. And used 2% milk.

My BIL and others said it was good. We decided it was't better than S E X but it was better than being 80.

Thanks for making the substitutes
(I almost got high blood sugar from reading the recipe until I saw them )
