• 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
• 8 Egg whites, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 8 inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray. (The springform pan allows for easy release of the cake from the pan. If you don’t mind leaving it in the pan, you could also use a 8 inch cake pan, or angel food cake pan).

In one small bowl, combine the extracts. In another, combine the sweetener, and protein powder, set bowls aside.

Place egg whites and cream of tartar in a metal bowl. Using a stand mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until peaks form. Continue to beat on high JUST until stiff peaks form. Turn speed down to medium-low and slowly add the extracts, followed by protein powder mixture. Turn mixer off immediately after protein powder is just mixed in. (If you over beat the egg whites past the point that they are stiff peaks, they will deflate, and you won’t be able to get them to ‘rise’ again. You could also fold in the protein powder mixture by hand to make sure peaks don’t fall, but this way is faster.)

Spoon batter into your prepared pan, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger. Remove from the oven. Once cake is cooled, slide a knife around the cake to loosen it from the edges. Remove springform to loosen the sides, and remove pan siding. Cut cake into six pieces and enjoy!
