Hi, is there anything I can bake for my type 2 mum?

The ones submitted by @Mark Parrott are particularly good 🙂

It's your Mum's birthday for goodness sake! A small slice of a cake she really likes is better than a larger piece of compromise cake, unless she really likes it too.

Replace some of the flour with ground almonds as this cuts down the carbs a lot. As @Copepod says it's her birthday a small bit of cake wont hurt 🙂

A small bit....
My mum eats like a bird, so a small bit for her in relation to what she eats....mmmmm! 🙂

You can make a cake with a combination of ground almonds coconut flour to replace standard flour. Use lots of eggs (about 6) to help it rise & keep it moist. There are plenty of low carb cake recipes online, though some do use some hard to get (and expensive) ingredients.

https://www.federationdesdiabetiques.org/diabete/recettes?field_type_de_plats_tid[]=12 if you prefer the Cuisine française. You could make a cheesecake or a tarte Tropézienne substituting the sugar with a sweetener like Stevia and making the base with almond flour and/or chestnut flour instead of using biscuits.

Thanks Mike. I just don't get cheesecake, the texture and taste is alien to my pallet!
