First baking since diagnosed in January 2016. Lemon cake - made with ground almonds and soy flour. So happy to use my Kitchen Aid received for Christmas before I was diagnosed!!

And it is very tasty. It actually rose more than expected, was pretty light when eaten - really enjoyed it, will make again - just have to try not to eat too much now!

@PenfoldAPD , it's a topper and looks good enough to destroy!!

Great, they also have the soy flour if you can't find it anywhere else - that is where I bought mine.

Tonight I had crispy duck, pancakes and hosin sauce. 2 hrs later BS of 7.4 so not a clever choice. I misread the carb content, and ended up eating 2½times the amount of carbs I thought. So guess I mustnt grumble at a 7.4
