Hello, today's diabetic recipe is an *Angel Food Cake*. To be honest I haven't tried this out, mostly because I don't like to waste food. Some where in all my recipes there is a solution to the egg problem, which is wasting the yolks. In that solution it gives ideas on what you can use the yolks in. If anyone out there has suggestions for this, please feel free to e-mail me or leave it in the comments. This cake is low in carbs, has no fat and has no Cholesterol. great to snack on. If you like you can make a sauce using splenda, berries, of your choice and a little lemon. Well,enjoy!
