Does anyone have a tried and tested recipe for a basic sugar-free sponge cake, suitable for a diabetic?
If at all possible a basic all in one, throw it all in a basin and beat with the electric mixer as "him indoors" isn't keen on cooking, and he certainly doesn't do complicated.
Thank you for your assistance

When I worked with the oldies, I used to make sugar free cup cakes for the diabetics useing Splenda. I'll see if I can find my little book. I had one of those pretty cup cake holder stands - it was easier for some of them to handle a cup cake than a slice iykwim. The secret was to whisk the egg whites to keep it nice and light.
I also did a honey one - but not sure (can't remember) if it would be suitable for diabetics.
I spoke, privately, with a nurse from my practice, who says it is unbelievable the way you are being treated Stroppy, you should be thoroughly asessed and monitored. I think we should start a petition for the Practice Manager.

Honey is a 'no no' for diabetics unfortunately.
