Diabetic Cake

This is a wonderful cake recipe. Actually this is the first diabetic cake recipe that I could get to achieve the proper cake texture with. This cake is very moist, especially with the raisins in it. I have adapted it to make a chocolate cake using this recipe as a base, adding cocoa. It turned out good as well.
