Oats and Dates No Sugar Chocolate cake

I have a lot of friends who are suffering from high blood sugar problem and they have requested me many times to bake a cake suitable for their consumption.So I decided to make this cake with oatmeal and dark chocolate .Not only does oatmeal improve cholesterol levels, it has an average GI of only 55, which makes it a low GI food and an ideal choice for the sugar-sensible eater.I used dates as a sweetener but only in small quantity.Dates can provide fiber and are fat and cholesterol free.Dates though are low in cholesterol and can be used to lower bad cholesterol in the body need to be used in  small quantity to be safe for diabetic patients.Instead of using fresh dates ,dried dates can also be used in case the  patients are suffering from a chronic diabetes problem.I didn’t use artificial sweeteners like saccharine ,splenda etc etc but it can be used as per  taste.
There is another specialty in this cake.For the first time I used my microwave to its full capacity and didn’t touch oven.How good is that?

The cake was chocolaty and super moist,my family and my neighbors loved it.
I hope you enjoy this recipe…
