Flower Garden Cake is a dessert that can be used for special events and does not include the use of any sugar. The ingredients in the cake include an angel cake, grated lemon rind, egg, saccharin-sweetened lemon gelatin, lemon juice, water, and whipped cream. Saccharin is a zero-calorie sweetener created to replace sugars. It’s zero-calorie because it does not break down in our bodies when ingested. It is 200-700 times sweeter than sugar and is considered safe to eat.

It also includes the different exchanges that are fulfilled by the final product. These exchanges represent the number of servings a diabetic should consume in a day according to the book. This cookbook focuses on healthy options for diabetics and this recipe is a great example that portrays a potential substitute for the usual cakes.
