[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2570180, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome, Kudos to you! Producing cakes suitable for T2s is more expensive than I would expect a care home to be willing to spend! Switching the wheat flour to almond (ground almonds), coconut and other nut flours isn't cheap. Nor is swapping sugar for xylitol or erythritol, or stevia, and so on. There can also be additional eggs, butter and cream used. Please use butter instead of some horrible cheap veg margarine or similar. Coconut oil is OK. Well worth the effort though, since eliminating the vile cheap veg oils, flour and sugar will do a fab job to help their blood glucose and overall health. As for new cake flavours, how about ginger, coffee, cocoa (obv not milk choc, but 70% cocoa dark choc is excellent), lemon, mint, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (all real fruit not some horrible food flavouring). If you want some fab low carb recipes, then a google search for 'keto black forest cake' or 'keto lemon drizzle' or 'keto whatever cake' will yield a fabulous selection. There are also a zillion different Keto Mug Cake recipes, which you could serve individually, or adapt for larger quantities. Here is a link, if you want to see what I mean: [URL unfurl="true"]https://thebigmansworld.com/healthy-1-minute-low-carb-keto-mug-cakes-paleo-vegan-sugar-free/[/URL] They only take a minute to prepare, can be cooked in the oven, and could be served in the individual mugs or little dishes.
