Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large egg whites (at room temperature)
- 1 cup / 100 g blanched almond flour
- 1 ½ cups / 150 g powdered monk fruit allulose blend (divided)
- ¼ cup / 30 g coconut flour
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- ½ tsp xanthan gum (optional, recommended for structure)
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Calibrate oven to 325°F (162°C) and line tube pan base with parchment paper without applying grease.
- Egg White Transformation: Employ hand mixer with whisk attachment to whip egg whites and cream of tartar. Commence at medium-low speed, progressing to medium-high while integrating powdered sweetener. Beat until soft peaks form, then gently fold in vanilla extract.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, sea salt, and remaining powdered sweetener in a separate bowl. Eliminate potential clumps through thorough whisking or sifting.
- Batter Assembly: Delicately fold dry ingredients into whipped egg whites, maintaining aeration. Sift and incorporate mixture in two stages, preserving the cake’s delicate volume.
- Pan Filling and Baking: Distribute batter evenly in prepared tube pan, creating a smooth surface. Bake for approximately 45 minutes until golden and responsive to touch.
- Cooling and Unmolding: Immediately invert pan post-baking to facilitate complete cooling. Utilize pan feet, bottle method, or robust cooling rack for optimal air circulation. Once cooled, release cake by running knife along pan edges, remove parchment paper, and present as desired.
Notes
- Maximize Egg White Volume: Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume and stability during whipping.
- Prevent Deflation Technique: Fold dry ingredients gently and minimally to maintain the delicate air bubbles crucial for cake’s light texture.
- Cooling Critical Step: Inverting the pan immediately after baking prevents cake from collapsing and helps maintain its signature airy structure.
- Flour Precision Matters: Sift almond and coconut flour thoroughly to eliminate lumps and ensure smooth, even cake texture.
