IMG_1111This recipe is a blessing for anyone on a diet! I have tried other recipes out there and they fall flat.  This one took me a ton of trial and error, but if you follow the directions precisely it works. You’d never know its low in carbs and calories. Do not use pasteurized egg whites from a cartoon for this recipe.

129 calories, 21.4g protein, 8g carbs, 1.25g fat, 1.25g fiber
4 servings, 1 serving = 1/4 of the cake or 120g

ingredients:

12 egg whites or 442g, at room temperature
2 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 cup swerve 86g
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1.5 scoops whey protein or 56g (I like protolyte pancakes and syrup flavor in this recipe)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp glucomannan a.k.a konjac, or guar gum  (optional, but adds some structure and fiber)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F with the angel food cake pan in the oven. Begin to beat the egg whites with an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Gradually add the cream of tarter and sugar 1 tbsp at a time. Then add the vanilla and almond extracts. Beat until the mixture has stiff peaks. Do not over beat. Combine the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and sprinkle them gently over the top of the egg white mixture. Fold gently with a spatula. Remove the pan from the oven and pour the batter in. *DO NOT USE cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 1 hour. Once baked, turn upside down over a bottle to cool. This will keep the cake from collapsing. Once cool, remove from the pan.
