### Diabetes-Friendly Cake Ideas Cake is a beloved dessert for many celebrations, but if you have type 2 diabetes, you might think it's off-limits. Luckily, with some ingredient swaps, you can still enjoy cake without spiking your blood sugar levels. Here are some tips and recipes to make diabetes-friendly cakes: #### Ingredient Swaps - **Flour**: Traditional cakes use all-purpose flour, which is high in carbs. Swap it with almond flour or coconut flour to reduce the carb content. - **Sugar**: Instead of granulated sugar, use pureed fruit or low-carb sweeteners like erythritol. - **Frosting**: Use mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, or low/no-calorie sweeteners to make a healthier frosting. #### Recipe Ideas 1. **Flourless Chocolate Cake**: This gluten-free and keto-friendly cake has only 17g of carbs per slice.
