As The Girl enjoyed her one day late sugar free birthday cake I made her yesterday, she was recalling that it was a far cry from that very first one in 1992 (AD-After Diabetes). Oh, it was so so sad that I cried.
This one was DELICIOUS! My wedding cake baker friend taught me the secret and now I'm here to share with you along with a pictorial.
You can see my ingredients....prepare the cake just as the box back instructs.
Frosting for a 8" two layer cake takes 2 envelopes of dream whip whipped together with 1 cup milk and a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract (for vanilla pudding). Whip until stiff peaks form, then add the large powdered pudding instant sugar free mix and beat again. At this point you might need to add some more milk or it could be too thick to spread well. Be your own judge.
I think different pudding flavors can be used but I have only used vanilla--which gives you a yellow frosting.
I think it would be good in 13 x 9 pan also with frosting on top.
Last night, The Girl gladly left two pieces of the cake here and the rest went home with her. Amazingly, I was blessed at 3 p.m. today with a double digit blood sugar. It rarely happens. I made myself a cup of decaf coffee and put my piece of cake on a pretty plate, sat in my recliner and ate it as I watched Hot Bench on TV. The Husband and I only watch quality programming, you see.
So yummy! Try it, you'll like it!
