Father's Day cake recipe appropriate for diabetic?I'm planning on baking a cake for Father's Day. My dad is not diabetic, but my mom is, and she's rarely eaten anything "cake-ish" with us before. I looked online for cake recipies that diabetics can eat, but there are so many! So do you guys have any recipes that you've actually tried, liked, and would recommend? Thanks :)

Being Truefull you wont find anything very good. Im diabetic been so about 11 years. You have to be very careful also about things that say sugar free as some of them have more carbs then the regular food.
You would be better making a regular cake and then something for her. Myself I count carbs I dont like wasting them on something that is not all that good.Just depends how her diet is everyone is different. I would have her look at the counts and see what she thinks
