Ingredients
  • 1 cup cake flour (I used King Arthur UNBLEACHED cake flour)
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar (organic, divided in half)
  • 12 egg whites (large, organic, pasture-raised eggs - Do NOT use egg whites in the carton)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (organic)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
    Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
  1. 1
    Sift together 1 cup cake flour and ½ of the coconut sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a separate small bowl, sift the remaining coconut sugar. Discard any granules that don’t pass through the sifter.
    2. Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites
  2. 2
    In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip 12 fresh egg whites on medium-high speed with the cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
    3. Step 3: Incorporate Dry Ingredients
  3. 3
    On medium-low speed, slowly add the flour and coconut sugar sifted mixture. Mix only until incorporated to avoid deflating the egg whites. Gently fold in the reserved coconut sugar using a rubber spatula, being careful to not deflate the egg whites.
    4. Step 4: Bake
  4. 4

    Divide the batter among three ungreased 6-inch pans (perfect for smash cakes) or bake in a large bundt pan for a traditional angel food cake. Mini cakes: Bake at 375°F for 22–25 minutes. Bundt cake: Increase baking time, watching carefully until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

    5. Step 5: Cool
  5. 5
    Invert pans immediately onto a wire rack and cool completely before removing.
    6. Optional Frosting
  6. 6
    Whip together organic heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered monk fruit (or sweetener of choice) for a lightly sweet finish. The cake itself is already naturally sweet, so less is more.
