Diabetic cake

Hi all, can anyone help, I am after a recipe for a cake suitable for a diabetic, have been on the internet but they all seem to be American
 
Hi Denise, My wife has got one, I will post it on the forum for you as soon as she can sort it out for you. Will be in touch soon. Mike
 
Hi Denise - if the problem [with American recipes] is with the quantities you should be able to find conversions for these and also translations into proper English on the net.
 
This cake is yummy but it does not rise and is a much denser cake than a normal fruit cake, hope you enjoy it Mike
