The other night I had a sweet tooth I couldn't seem to satisfy. I went to the pantry and found a few ingredients and made a very simple cake. It was quite good and my grandson, who is not diabetic, ate over half of it. So I can safely say, it is tasty for the nondiabetics in your family or group, too.
These are the three ingredients I took from the pantry.
1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix
1 can Splenda-sweetened fruit cocktail, do not drain
1 3/4 cup sugar-free cherry limeade
In a medium mixing bowl combine all three ingredients and mix just until well blended.
Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This cake will not have a typical cake texture and is not thick like a regular cake.
The cake is good as is or with sugar-free whipped topping. I even cut a piece for my husband and topped it with some cream cheese frosting. (The first picture below is with whipped topping. The second is with cream cheese frosting.
WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD
I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.
