Sorry, no low fat cake recipe but I have tried 'Betty Crockers' low fat choc fudge brownies & they are pretty good, if no one else can help maybe you could give them a go :chef:

If you can get copies of Annette Syms cookbook titled "Symply too good to be true" she has beautiful low fat variations of most recipes from entrees through to muffins, cakes etc. I use them all the time :yelclap:

If i get a chance i'll post a recipe tomorrow :fingerscrossed:

On the topic of Low fat Chocolate Cake recipes.... Does anyone know where you can get one for diabetics???

Or even better has anyone heard of a good diabetic cook book?? I saw on Mornings with Kerrianne (yes I lead a tad boring life!) that her chef (Mike Moore I think his name is :confused: ) on the program is diabetic but they never mentioned a cook book as such....

Was just wondering as I suffered with GD in my first pregnancy and I am currently showing all the signs of its return with this pregnancy.... :( but as you know in pregnancy sometimes that chocolate craving can become unbearable!!!!

Sorry for hijacking your thread mum2jo! :o
