Hello,

A few months ago, my grandad was diagnosed with diabetes. Where he has done a great job of cutting sugars from his diet (and consequently lost a good stone) he has confessed to me that he does miss eating things like cake. So, I thought I would appeal to you, MFP members - are there any cake recipes that would be suitable for me to bake for my grandad (i.e. are of a lower sugar content than regular cake)? Thank you in advance!

:)

*P.S. if you could send me the nutritional info. with the recipe, that would be extra wonderful.

    Diet soda cake. One can diet soda, one box cake mix, no other ingredients. Bake as directed.
    Diet cola for chocolate cake. Diet sprite for white cake.
