Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites
  • 1/2 cup sweet white sorghum flour
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener granulated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s important to get your oven nice and hot for the cake to rise perfectly.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Pan
  1. Use an ungreased tube pan. This will allow the cake to climb the sides and hold its height as it bakes.
Step 3: Beat the Egg Whites
  1. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites. Add cream of tartar and salt as you start beating. Whip until soft peaks form. This will take about 3–4 minutes on medium speed.
Step 4: Gradually Add Sweetener and Flavorings
  1. Once you have soft peaks, gradually add the monk fruit sweetener. Keep mixing until the egg whites reach stiff peaks. Then, fold in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and almond extract gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
Step 5: Combine the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweet white sorghum flour and arrowroot powder. This blend is crucial for achieving the right texture. Make sure there are no lumps in this mix.
Step 6: Fold in the Flour Mixture
  1. Now, it’s time to gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites. Use a spatula and incorporate it slowly to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Step 7: Pour Batter into the Pan
  1. Once everything is well combined, pour the batter into the prepared tube pan. Smooth the top for an even bake.
Step 8: Bake the Cake
  1. Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake the cake for about 30-35 minutes until it's golden and springs back when touched.
Step 9: Cool the Cake
  1. After baking, immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack. This helps the cake maintain its structure. Allow it to cool completely upside down.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges and remove it from the pan. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy your guilt-free dessert!

Notes

  • 1. Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh egg whites whip better than older ones. This makes a huge difference in the texture.
  • 2. Avoid Greased Pans: Do not grease your pan. Angel food cake needs to cling to the sides to rise properly.
  • 3. Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Sifting helps avoid lumps and ensures even distribution.
  • 4. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for optimal whipping.
  • 5. Don’t Skip the Cream of Tartar: It stabilizes the egg whites and helps them hold their shape.
