Place a ball of foil in the center of the cake to support the "stem". Top with an ice cream cone. Frost cake with frosting.

Why this Jack-o'-Lantern Cake Recipe works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Jack-o'-Lantern Cake Recipe works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
