If you love angel food cake but don't love the sugar crash that comes with it, this High Protein Angel Food Cake is about to become your new favorite dessert. Light, fluffy, and naturally low in fat, this recipe takes the classic angel food cake and gives it a healthy makeover by boosting the protein while keeping it completely sugar-free and gluten-free.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 carton egg whites (450 ml), room temperature
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp extract of choice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup egg white protein powder
  • 1 cup sweetener (I used have WholeEarth and half Allulose)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  Line the bottom of an angel food pan with parchment paper (do NOT spray the sides or the paper with non-stick spray)
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the egg whites.  Beat with the wire whisk attachment for 1 minute on medium speed.   Sprinkle cream of tartar over the egg whites.  Turn mixer on "high" and beat until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).  Add in vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
  3. While eggs are beating, add all remaining ingredients to a bowl and stir to incorporate.
  4. Once egg whites are ready, fold in the dry ingredients into the egg whites until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Carefully pour the mixture into the angel food cake pan and smooth out the top.  Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and invert the pan on a cooling rack.  Let cake cool for at least 3 hours.
  7. Once cake has cooled, use a knife to loosen the cake from the pan.  Flip cake over to remove from pan.  Continue to let it cool, if needed before storing in an airtight container.
