Receta Recipe Remake for Nutella Swirl Bundt Cake.
I like cake, but being a diabetic means I have to sometimes...sometimes forego the dessert. However, life should be enjoyed and making compromises means you can sometimes have your cake and eat it too. This is what I did with a recipe I found online for Nutella Swirl Cake. Making a few simple changes created a cake that was more diabetic friendly than the original recipe. Less sugar, fat and cholesterol; yet a cake that was full of flavor and moist. Of course I also cut down the portion size from 12 slices to 16 slices, but with my recipe remake...less is more!!!
First the original recipe:
Difficulty: average
Preparation time: 20 min.
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Classificaton: Dessert, cake
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 cups granulated sugar

When I swirled in the Nutella, I pushed the fork in deeper than I should have. Guess what? It still tasted awesomely delicious!
