One of the biggest complaints we have with diabetes is about cake, that they are so dry. Baking without sugar is a challenge, things do not fry as well, with no sugar and they are too dry without sugar. I took a great recipe that I had, Mandarin Orange Cake and tweaked it until I came up with a diabetic version, which is moist and pleasing to the palate.
* The addition of Stevia, add some extra sweetness. Stevia is pretty expensive, but two packages is all you need. The addition ofMayonnaise adds moisture and texture. When you remove the cake from the oven and prick with a fork, generous with the picks. This sauce makes a wonderful run in the cake, thus increasing the humidity. Even my husband who hates anything without sugar, ate two or three pieces of this cake. My sixteen-year-old grandson loved it, too.
