As for juicing a lemon, there are several techniques, but these two are the most popular: Using firm pressure, roll a room-temperature lemon on a counter several times before slicing in half and squeezing out the juice with a reamer, by hand or with an electric juicer, making sure no seeds get in the juice. Microwave a room-temperature lemon on high for 25 to 30 seconds before slicing and extracting the juice as above. Continue reading >>

Diabetic Cakes - Baking Diabetes-friendly Cakes

Baking using sugar substitutes isn't impossible A lot of people with diabetes would like to know whether they can eat cakes and treats without the feeling of guilt or the sharp rise in blood sugar levels that are usually associated with these so called naughty indulgences. We bring you tips on how to modify cake recipes to lower their carbohydrate content and therefore reduce their effect on your blood sugar levels. The main suspects involved in pushing up sugar levels in cakes are sugar, flour and any additional decoration (inside or out). Download the FREE Diabetes Cookbook 2016. Sugar can be replaced with sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners , also called intense or low calorie sweeteners such as those containing saccharin, aspartame or sucralose, have a sweeter flavour than sugar and so fewer grams of sweetener may be needed to replace the grams of sugar. Check instructions on the sweetener or its accompanying website for more details of how best to use it in baking. Safety note: If you have phenylketonuria you should not consume products containing aspartame. Sugar alcohols, also known as polyols, such as: have less of an effect on blood sugar levels than sugar but can have a laxative effect and are best consumed in smaller quantities. A good replacement for flour is finely ground almonds, which you may be able to buy as almond meal and has a much lower carbohydrate content than flour so is much kinder to blood glucose levels . You can make your own almond flour by roasting and blitzing fresh almonds in a food processor. Please note that over blitzing of the almonds can see it turn to nut butter so you may need a few attempts to get the consistency right. Dont forget the baking powder or baking soda and have fun cooking. Continue reading >>

You can also decorate a yellow cake easily with colorful items like flowers and fruit. Thankfully, a yellow cake can be made without added sugar. I like to say that it is possible to have your cake and eat it sugar free too. However, even though this cake has no added sugar in it, this cake still tastes pretty good.

Deliciously Diabetic German Chocolate Cake

Deliciously Diabetic German Chocolate Cake

Although not a low-calorie dessert, this Deliciously Diabetic German Chocolate Cake is a very tasty sugar-free option for those who need to be watch their sugar intake. Last week we celebrated my dad’s 74th birthday! We asked him what he’d likfor his birthday and he requested 2 things…. Lunch at Cracker Barrel German Chocolate Cake Just a couple of months ago my oldest daughter made a homemade German Chocolate Cake for her (then) fiance’s birthday. My dad, who has a serious sweet tooth, tried a bite and LOVED it! So, that’s where he got the idea to request one for his birthday. Only one problem…. my dad is diabetic and our usual German Chocolate Cake has enough sugar to send him into a diabetic coma before he could finish the first piece! So, I went on a quest for a Sugar Free cake and found this one over at Sass & Pepper. I made a couple of changes but used her basic recipe. I will admit, I don’t really cook sugar-free and many of the sugar-free desserts I’ve had aren’t very good. So honestly, I wasn’t very hopeful, but I decided to give it a shot. The cake is a little time consuming, but then again, pretty much any made-from-scratch cake is. We like our German Chocolate Cake with chocolate frosting on the outside and the coconut-pecan frosting on top and between the layer. I used canned (Pillsbury) sugar-free chocolate frosting. I found a few sugar-free recipes but couldn’t find sugar-free chocolate chips at any of my local stores. Next time, I will order them online and give it a shot. The cake’s texture is more dense than regular cake and the layers thinner. On the evening of his birthday (after a huge lunch at Cracker Barrel) we stopped by my parent’s house to share his birthday cake with him. I (and the rest of my family) fully expected t Continue reading >>

The Best Diabetic Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting

The Best Diabetic Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting

The BEST Diabetic Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting This Diabetic Chocolate Cake recipe is a chocolate lovers dream with it’s rich sweet delicious and moist cake loaded with a rich creamy chocolate frosting. There’s very simple ingredients and very little effort involved to make this cake more often than you plan. When it comes to desserts especially my cakes I’m all for the real deal. My principal is ‘there is nothing like the real thing’. So no low fat, no low sugar or no any low for me. I’d rather eat one good slice of dessert than a couple of low on calorie stuff. Having said that, when it comes to special dietary restrictions or physical intolerance I believe there is a valid reason to do everything possible in terms of low sugar or low fat or no flour. This recipe is based on my knowledge not approved by any medical professional. Some can eat flour while some say no sugar, no flour, because flour converts to sugar eventually. Others can eat a little bit of sugar but no flour. There are some who can have honey instead of sugar. While some say honey is a NO – with a preference to sugar substitute like sweet N low ; while some prefer nothing other than Splenda. Some prefer Agave syrup and nothing else. Anyway, this is my recipe that I use when I need a diabetic cake. I adjust it per customer request. The secret to sweetness to this cake is the diabetic chocolate which has it’s own additions so I don’t have to add much of sugar substitute. A word on Pricing The chocolate used here is not regular chocolate but one that is diabetic approved. Most super markets have a special section that’s dedicated to special diet. You will definitely find a diabetic chocolate in there. Because this is not regular chocolate the price is more, often twice than t Continue reading >>

Thanks so much for visiting Rose Bakes! I hope you're inspired to bake a cake, decorate something fun, or try a new recipe! Sign up for FREE updates in your inbox or in your feed reader to keep up with all the latest things I'm sharing! Happy Baking! This Sugar-Free Pineapple Lush Cake has been one of the most popular posts on my blog lately so it seemed like a great time to update it! Originally I created this cake for a lady in our church who had just come out of surgery. I was happy to do it, but also a bit nervous because she’s diabetic. After a bit of digging through some old cookbooks, I decided to make this Sugar-Free Pineapple Lush Cake. Only one other time have I baked a sugar-free cake and it wasn’t all that impressive, so this time I wanted to try something different. After I first published this recipe, I had several complaints about it not being actually “sugar-free” since pineapple has sugar. That is true. I supposed I should’ve noted that there’s no added or processed sugar – only the sugar naturally occurring in the pineapple, which is acceptable for most diabetics in moderation. If you need something that’s absolutely sugar-free, then this might not be the cake for you! Anyway, I was short on time and limited by my tiny local grocery store – I decided to go the easy route and not attempt anything from scratch, so this recipe was perfect. Here are the main things you’ll need… Sugar-Free Pineapple Lush Cake Don’t overlook the fact that you’ll also need eggs, oil, and water for the cake mix. After you have everything ready to go, it’s time to BAKE! First, just followed the box directions exactly. That’s pretty easy, huh? I have in my head a few variations I’d to try, but since I was short on time, I kept it simple. After it Continue reading >>

Diabetic Spring Fling Layered White Cake

Diabetic Spring Fling Layered White Cake

I made this cake for my cousin and it was great!!! I did use the "Absolutely Sugar Free" Frosting (using White Chocolate pudding mix) which was a very good frosting! I could barely tell that it was (essentially) sugar free! We even had a taste test with a bakery sugar free cake and this cake won! I did make a few minor changes--I used sugar free apricot preserves and I also used frozen strawberries (stronger flavor). Next time I will slice the strawberries thicker. I will also use 8 in. instead of 9 in. cake pans for a little more height to make it easier to cut the cakes in half! Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly spray two 9-inch cake pans with Pam and set aside. Sift cake flour, mix splenda, flour, baking powder, baking soda and sugar together in a medium sized bowl on low speed until ingredients are blended. Add softened butter, mix on low speed about 2-3 minutes. Add egg whites, mix on low speed until incorporated, scrape sides of bowl, mix on medium high speed 1-2 minutes or until batter is light and well blended. Scrape sides of bowl, add buttermilk and extracts, mix on medium speed until blended. Bake in preheated 350 oven 20-25 minutes or until edges of cake appear slightly dry. Allow cake to cook in pans 10-15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks until ready to Ice. Beat softened butter and Sllenda briefly in a medium sized bowl, just until splenda is incorporated. Add cream cheese, mix until lump free, about 1 minute. Scrape sides of bowl and add vanilla, mix well. Slice cooled cake layers in half- using a serrated knife, slice cakes in half horizontally, to create 4 cake layers. Place 1 cake layer on cake stand or plate- spread 1/3 of the preserves over the cake layer. Repeat process until all layers are assembled. Continue reading >>
