Atkins Cake Recipes

Ingredients:

=== CAKE ===
1 cup matzo cake meal
1 1/4 cup granular sugar substitute
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup egg whites, room temperature
= (12 to 14 large eggs)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
=== SAUCE ===
3/4 lb rhubarb, cut 1" pieces
1 cup coarsely chopped strawberries, divided
1/4 cup granular sugar substitute

Instructions:

For the cake: Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, whisk cake meal, sugar
substitute and salt to combine. Place mixture in a wire sieve set over
the bowl.

With an electric mixer on medium, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Stir in vanilla and almond extracts.

In three additions, sift dry ingredients over the whites, gently folding in
with a rubber spatula.

Transfer batter to a 10-inch tube pan. Bake 30 minutes, until cake begins
to pull away from the sides of the pan. Invert cake in pan over a funnel
or bottle neck, if pan does not have feet. Cool completely, about 1 1/2
hours. With narrow spatula or knife, loosen cake from sides of pan and
gently shake onto serving plate.

For the sauce: In a medium pot, mix rhubarb, 1/2 cup strawberries, sugar
substitute and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat 15 minutes, until
rhubarb falls apart. Reduce heat and stir frequently during the last 5
minutes of cooking time. Remove from heat; transfer to a bowl and fold in
remaining strawberries. Cool completely and serve with cake.

Comments: Room-temperature egg whites beat to a greater volume than cold
ones. To quickly bring the eggs to room temperature, place them in warm
water for 5 minutes.
