Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle is very important to control blood sugar level.
But we have to make something for diabetic people for their sweet craving. So tried this cake for them. A guilt free cake made with shredded carrot, orange, dates, walnuts and raisins. These ingredients made this cake enough sweet. So a cake with whole wheat flour, soya bean flour, carrot, orange, raisins and walnuts definitely a healthy option to satisfy your sweet tooth.

You don’t need butter to make it. I have used only 2 tablespoon olive oil in it.
Diabetic or diet conscious people everyone can enjoy this guilt free cake.
You can increase the amount of oil 1/4 to 1/2 cup if you want your cake more moist. Oil or butter provide moistness. But if you are making it for diabetic or diet conscious people don’t increase. The cake is delicious with only 2 tablespoon oil.
