Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 8 | Eggs |
| 6 | Packets of Splenda |
| 1/4 | Teaspoon Cream of Tartar |
| 1 | Package Hot Cocoa Mix |
| 1 | Tablespoon Cocoa Powder |
| 1 | Teaspoon Protein Powder |
| 1/4 | Cup Soy Flour |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that it’s ready to go when your cake is prepared.
-
Whip egg whites: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. This step adds lightness and volume to your cake.
-
Add Splenda: Gradually add 3 packets of Splenda to the egg whites while continuing to beat, until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix, as you want the peaks to be firm but not dry.
-
Prepare cocoa mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, the remainder of the Splenda (adjust to desired sweetness), and 1/2 package of the hot cocoa mix. This creates a rich, chocolatey base for your cake.
-
Incorporate cocoa powder: Add 1/2 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the yolk mixture and mix well, ensuring that the cocoa is evenly distributed.
-
Combine mixtures: Gently fold a spoonful of the egg white mixture into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Then, pour the yolk mixture over the remaining egg whites in the mixing bowl.
-
Sift dry ingredients: Sift the remaining cocoa mix, cocoa powder, protein powder, and soy flour over the egg mixture. This step ensures that your cake has a smooth texture without any lumps.
-
Fold ingredients together: Using a spatula, fold all of the ingredients together lightly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the egg whites and result in a denser cake.
-
Prepare pan: Spoon the batter into a small bundt pan or loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray (such as Pam). This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan and ensures easy removal after baking.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cake is firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake to ensure it doesn’t overbake.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve your delicious low carb chocolate angel food cake!
Enjoy this guilt-free indulgence that’s packed with flavor and goodness. Whether you’re following a low-carb lifestyle or simply looking for a healthier dessert option, this cake is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings without derailing your diet. Try it out and share the love! ❤️🍰
