Not sure why Bin Inn is now a Diabetic advisor?
The 1kg of fruit mix alone has approx 650g of carbs (=sugar) in it. The 1/2c choppped walnuts has approx 12g of carbs. The 1/2c chopped almonds has approx 11g of carbs. The 2c s/r flour has approx. 22g of carbs. So all up your cake has approx 700g of carbs.
Even if you cut that into 20 tiny pieces - then each tiny piece will have still 35g of carbs - not counting any icing of course ... and nobody will eat just 1 tiny piece ... and it only adds to whatever else they have eaten before ... and yeah I realize "this is only once a year" ... blah blah ...
