it is my birthday on Monday and I would really like to make a low carb cake so that I can eat some of it. I have looked through the recipes on here but can't find anything.

I am looking for a simple cake preferably chocolate. Does anyone have a good (and easy!) recipe?

Have you looked here >>http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23840

Cant believe that you didnt find anything? Or you could try making an orange cake, fill it with a chocolate ganache, serve with a dollop of cream, I made this for someones birthday last week, was enjoyed by everyone. Let me know if you would like to have the recipe.

All the best x

I found this recipe in The Ultimate Diabetic Cook Book

Chocolate and Prune cake

300gms/11oz dark chocolate
150gms/5oz low fat spread
200gm/7oz ready to eat prunes or dried apricots can be used instead the cake would be less sweet
3 beaten eggs
150gm/5oz Gram flour
2 tsps baking powder
120mls soya milk

Melt the chocolate in a heat proof dish over a pan of hot water

Beat the prunes and spread until light and fluffy....best done in a food processor..turn into a bowl

Mix the baking powder with the flour and then gradually fold in with the chocolate, prune and spread mixture and eggs then beat in the soya milk

Spoon mixture into a greased and base lined cake tin and cook in a preheated oven 180C/350F for about 20 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch

It says the Gram flour is a good source of fibre
