This is a great diabetic cake (diatetic cake). Most people just think to cut the sugar and that a dessert will then be good for a diabetic but the flour, in the body, immediately goes to sugar as well. So, here's a recipe that calls for coconut flour in place of regular flour and the recipe is very good. The coconut flour doesn't go to sugar in the body like regular flour does. If your local grocery store carrys Bob's Red Mill products (little bags of different kinds of grain/flours/etc.) they can order it for you if they don't have it there. Here's a good recipe to use:
This recipe is from the Mercola.com website with some modification.
COCONUT FLOUR CHOCOLATE CAKE
1/2 c butter
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/8 c cream
1/8 c milk
9 eggs
1 1/4 c Splenda
dash salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut extract
3/4 c sifted coconut flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c chopped pecans or walnuts
Melt the butter. Add the cocoa and milk/cream to the butter mixture. Remove from heat and set aside. In a bowl, stir together eggs, Splenda, salt and extracts. Stir in cocoa mixture. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and whisk into batter until there are no lumps. Stir in the pecans and mix well. Pour batter into an 8x8x2" or 9x9x2" cake pan. Bake in preheated 350º oven for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The only other modification I would make to the recipe is to add a little sour cream to the batter to make it a little moister.

You mean dietetic cake for diabetics? Substitute Splenda for the sugar. It measures exactly the same as sugar. Don't use the Splenda marked for baking, just the regular Splenda. Aside from packets, it comes in a large bag, or in a few different sized boxes with pour spouts.

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/IClGp
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.

Splenda (or another sugar substitute) instead of sugar - not the baking one, as that one is half sugar & half splenda - and use a whole wheat flour if possible, as opposed to refined flour. It comes out a little bit different, I find it doesn't rise as well, but it's still tasty.
