Well my mother has now tried my Sugarless Cake and was very positive about it.
The more I tasted it the more I was impressed with my own efforts (or with the recipe anyway!). The fruity ingredients (prunes, dates, currants) go very well together. The spices and nuts definitely add a marvelous flavour.
Maybe it doesn’t quite qualify as a Diabetic Dessert, but it is a great diabetic food.
I am going to make another soon, which I will take to my brother’s birthday clebration coming up in a week.

Excellent recipe – Sugarless Cake
I have tried this and it was very tasty. Actually this is the first time I have cooked for a long time.
My main problem was chopping the nuts. Tried for the first time an electric blender I had bought recently, but it wasn’t so effective as expected! Also I only have one cake pan, which is a bit larger than necessary, so the cake turned out to be a little thin!
Otherwise I enjoyed the cooking and will be letting my mother try some soon.
Not sure if you could class this as a Diabetic Dessert, but definitely a Diabetic Recipe!
