Diabetic Friendly Spice Cake Recipe- ASAP!

Food
1

Hello All,

My friend of many years ( a T2 now on insulin) and our families are having our yearly "Birthday Bash for the many" We celebrate around 4-5 all at once. After many years of him making me a my sugar friendly pie ( to die for..) he has finally requested something for him. He would like a spice cake. Now, I hope that someone would have a good recipe because I am not finding a thing!
The party is tomorrow. Help!

Thanks.

The Clueless Baker,

Carly

How about this one from sparkpeople?

By my count the recipe has 16 servings and each serving has 226 calories, 15.6 g fat, 15.2 g carbs, 1.6 g fiber, and 4.9 g protein. Pretty darn good!

I used my favorite recipe carb count site.

Recipe seems very interesting and enticing.

For me splenda is not great choice as it gives me the trots.

This looks awesome!
I ran all over town looking for Almond Flour and I could not find any! It looks like I am going to have to make something similar.

Perhaps, baking splenda contains half sugar and half splenda.

Most "health/natural food" stores carry almond flour. Baking Splenda has sugar in it, I'm not a baker but perhaps some Truvia would work better, as far as minimizing carbs.

I like truvia and no negative feedback.

I have to to apologize. I didn’t look and see where you live. Where I live it is now carried in many regular grocery stores as well as places like Whole Foods. I think you might have to order it over the internet. A good replacement might be to grind almond yourself. Perhaps others have done this.

I have been using a combination of flaxseed meal and coconut flour, and I like the texture I get. Have not made a cake, though, only muffins. I don't use any sweetener, I don't like it. Coconut flour holds the moisture a bit better than almond flour. Got it at Whole Foods, it's not expensive.

Have to agree with Jims on the trots comment

Hey No problem. We have a store that usually carries different types of flours and foods. I found rice flour and gluten free stuff but no almond flour. I will be looking online or just maybe try to make my own .
