Can anyone help, please? Below are the ingredients for MH's favourite Simnel cake; I would very much like to make this for Easter weekend, only I need to convert it (as much as possible) for diabetic consumption.
200g Cooks’ Ingredients crystallised stem ginger, cut into pea-sized pieces
250g Cooks’ Ingredients white marzipan
200g essential Waitrose butter
300g light brown muscovado sugar
3 large eggs, 1 beaten
25g fresh root ginger, grated
200g Waitrose self-raising flour
1 cooking apple, peeled, cored and grated
I thought of reducing the amount of crystallised ginger by half, and I can make my own diabetic marzipan. The sugar can be swapped for sweetener or erythritol (wish mine would arrive, fed up waiting now) but what can I sub the flour for? I have organic wholewheat self-raising flour, flax meal, soy flour and coconut flour.....will any of these do?
Thanks!
Julia
