Description

Experience the heavenly sensation of this angel food cake, a dessert that redefines lightness and fluffiness. Its delicate crumb and airy texture make it an exceptional treat, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without compromising your dietary goals. This cake is incredibly versatile, acting as a delicious foundation for a wide array of toppings and accompaniments.

Imagine it paired with a generous serving of fresh berries, their vibrant colors and natural sweetness complementing the cake's subtle flavor. Or perhaps you'd prefer a dollop of rich, whipped cream, adding a touch of decadence to every bite. A light dusting of powdered sweetener provides the perfect finishing touch, enhancing the cake's inherent sweetness without being overwhelming.

This angel food cake offers a delightful balance of taste and texture, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a lighter dessert option. It's a wonderful way to enjoy a classic treat while being mindful of your health and well-being. The key to achieving its signature airy texture lies in the careful preparation of the egg whites and the use of a powdered sweetener, which helps to stabilize the batter and create a perfectly light and fluffy cake.

While a touch of xanthan gum can enhance the cake's airy quality, it can be omitted for those who prefer to avoid it, resulting in a slightly denser but still incredibly delicious cake. Whether you're enjoying a quiet afternoon tea or celebrating a special occasion, this angel food cake is sure to impress. Its delicate flavor and ethereal texture make it a crowd-pleasing dessert that everyone will love.

Serve it with your favorite toppings, or enjoy it on its own for a truly guilt-free indulgence. This cake is more than just a dessert; it's an experience, a moment of pure culinary bliss that will leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed. Its simplicity and elegance make it a perfect ending to any meal, leaving a lasting impression on your palate.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 325 F (163 C). Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Mix with a whisk to combine well.
    2.
    Spray a tube pan with non-stick cooking spray. Line a tube pan with parchment paper on the bottoms and the sides. Do not omit the parchment paper as the cake needs something to rise up on.
    3.
    Add room temperature egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat with a whisk attachment until the eggs are frothy. Then, slowly pour in the powdered sweetener while the mixer is running. Beat until the egg whites form a medium-stiff peak. Beating them just under stiff peaks will allow for a stronger structure.
    4.
    Sprinkle ½ of the dry ingredients on top of the egg whites and gently fold in. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients. Be sure to fold gently so as to not lose any air. Make sure all the dry ingredients are incorporated too.
    5.
    Pour the batter into the tube pan. Spread the batter evenly with an offset spatula Bake for one hour or until the top of the angel food cake is golden brown. Immediately invert the cake onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
    6.
    Once cooled run a knife around the outside edges of the pan. Remove the centerpiece from the tube pan. Cut the cake into 16 slices and serve immediately with toppings of choice like whipped cream or berries (these are not calculated into the macros so please add these separately).
