Diabetic Friendly, Apple & Blackberry Loaf Cake Recipe!

Hello lovelies,

It’s funny, when it comes to cakes you automatically think they fall into the ‘unhealthy’ category but that couldn’t be further from the truth!

For my birthday, one of my besties brought me a recipe book for diabetic’s and I’ve learnt so much from it. I’ve realised how simple it is to make a healthy and utterly delicious cake that you can eat without guilt.

So guess what? Today I’m sharing with you my first loaf cake I’ve made which is diabetic friendly. Honestly, you wouldn’t believe how quick this cake was to make & like I say, it’s just as tasty as it would be having used my normal ingredients I usually use for making cakes!

So if you’d like to get baking this guilt-free loaf cake yourself, then the recipes below;
