Does anyone have a fairy cake recipe using artificial sweeteners that doesn't taste icky? Thanks!?

Question

My father is diabetic and I'd love to be able to bake some cakes that he is able to eat without sending his blood sugar through the roof. I have tried searching for recipes on the web with no success - neither Canderel or Splenda have a recipe for fairy cakes! I'd really appreciate any help the clever Yahoo Answers folks might have. Thanks!

Answer 1

Please don't use artificial sweeteners. They are poisonous. They contain aspartame which causes cancer.

Answer 2

Sorry, I don't have the Fairy cake recipe, however, I can attest to using splenda. I am diabetic and bake frequently using splenda. There is a difference in the regular splenda and the splenda for baking. Splenda for baking contains sugar (and is not calorie free). The folks at splenda made that blend special for baking because people complained that their cookies didn't brown. That is the only difference. I use only the regular splenda without problems.

I love my cheese cake recipe.

2 8oz pkgs Cream Cheese(the 1/3 less fat and NOT fat free the texture is all wrong)
2 eggs
1/2 cup splenda
2tsp vanilla

Cream the cream cheese with the splenda. Add the eggs one at a time . Add the vanilla. Mix until smooth.

You can use a store bought graham cracker crust(sugar free), and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. The center will jiggle slightly when done.

You can change the flavor by adding Key Lime juice (2T) instead of the vanilla, or add some fruit (1/2 cup) if you choose.

enjoy.

Answer 3

I'm not diabetic, but I know quite a lot about blood sugar through diet training at work. May I suggest that you check sites for low GI recipes, as white flour and sugar are both high on the glycaemic index, which is bad for your dad. Try making something like a carrot cake with wholemeal flour and brown sugar-carrots make it sweet-and because the flour is low GI it will help regulate blood sugar levels. My favourite book is Can't fail cakes, by Mitzie Wilson. There is also a recipe for chewy bars made from wholemeal flour, oats, fruit and honey in there. You can also try googling sugar free cakes which will bring up other options for you. How nice of you to be so thoughtful xx :)

Diabetic Fairy Cakes

Answer 5

I have had a look on line and found that if you substitute sugar with splenda you do not need to change the amount ie for cakes you use
4oz of self raising flour
4oz Butter/Margarine
4oz sugar (which you would use splenda instead of the sugar)
2 eggs
hope this helps as I am thinking of doing same for my dad as he is also diabetic have only recently got to know him so haven't tried it yet.

Answer 6

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/oZeG9

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 7

You can sustitute Splenda in any recipe calling for regular sugar. They sell Splenda for baking, check the baking aisle!

Answer 8

In the event that it's a fruit it includes seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.
