Directions
Chocolate Oat Bran Cake (Diabetic), A healthy snack cake Do NOT sub Splenda for the 1/3 cup sugar in the dry ingredients The sugar helps keep cake moister Eat plain or with a dollop of sugar-free Cool Whip , Made this last night A few changes: added 1/4 C unsweetened applesauce to first mixture Used oat flour instead of whole wheat Melted 2 tsp chocolate chips in lieu of chocolate extract which I do not have Very moist and yummy Will add finely chopped walnuts next time, I made this to fulfill a request for a bran birthday cake Test run of recipe as written, subbing sugar for splenda (using 2/3 cup sugar total) as diabetes is not a concern and splenda is pricey, and using whole-wheat flour As is, the cake was incredibly dry, but still tasty Good for snacking or breakfast but not dessert-like For the official birthday cake, I again used all sugar, adding an additional 1/3 cup for one cup total, used half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour, and added an additional egg and 1/3 cup more oil Frosted with cream cheese frosting, sprinkled with walnuts and sliced almonds It was amazing! Seriously, one of the moistest, yummiest chocolate cakes ever When I make it again I will only use 2/3 c sugar, the addition was unnecessary
