Hello all,
i decided to do some baking tonight, i adapted one of my favourite recipes as a sugar free version.
i was diagnosed with type two diabetes around two years ago and found it very frustrating that i could no longer enjoy a piece of cake anymore which is why i adapted the recipe in the first place, i thought id share so others might enjoy it aswell. below is the recipe feel free to try it and leave feedback or leave your own recipe in this thread... remember the more we share the more we help
Diabetic Coconut Sponge
250g Self Raising Flour
250g Unsalted Butter
25 Tbsp Sugar Substitute (splender ect)
Rind of One Lemon
65g Decicated Coconut
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
100Ml Milk
2 Tbsp Sugar-Free Jam (i found that Strawberry or Damson works best.)
Method:
Cream together the butter and suger substitute until smooth, pale and fluffy. gradually add the eggs into the mixture. fold in the flour. Add the vanilla extract, lemon rind and Decicated coconut. finally add the milk and stir until combined into a thick batter. divide evenly between two greased, lined cake tins and bake in the oven at 250 degrees or gas mark 7 for 20 minutes or until a scewer can be inserted into the center and comes out clean. wait to cool and peel paper from the cakes. spread with the sugar free jam and serve.
serves 8. 1/8 of the cake has 3 grams of sugar and 31.25 grams of carbohydrates.
i hope you enjoy this recipe and again feel free to share your own
