Hi,
My husband is diabetic, so I am familiar with her problem. Here are two cakes. the Mississippi Mud cake is our favorite, but I included a Devil's Food cake and chocolate frosting just in case you wanted a plain chocolate cake.
Mississippi Mud Cake
From Southern-Style Diabetic Cooking, by Marti Chitwood (American Diabetes Association)
4 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup sugar 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted 11/2 tablespoons whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 large eggs, room temperature
1 4-ounce jar baby prunes, pureed 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa, sifted 1/4 cup unprocessed, uncooked wheat bran 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Dash salt 1/2 cup mini marshmallows 1/2 cup chopped, toasted pecans
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-9-inch cake pan with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to drape over the edges. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Cream the butter and sugars in a medium bowl until fluffy. Beat in the chocolate, whipping cream and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the prunes. Sift the flour, cocoa, bran, baking soda and salt together and stir into the batter.
Transfer batter to baking pan and bake about 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Before removing the cake from the pan, sprinkle the marshmallows and pecans on top. Return to the oven and bake just until the marshmallows begin to melt, about 5 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Holding the edges of the foil, lift the cake from the pan. Remove the foil and serve. Makes 12 servings.
