A special dessert that tastes great with minimal calories can be hard to find, but Patricia Bristow has one for you! The Saint Louis, Missouri cook shares her motherâs recipe for a tender cake with a subtle coffee flavor. Itâs sure to be hit! Ingredients:
12 egg whites |
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules |
2 tablespoons boiling water |
1-1/4 cups cake flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve coffee granules in boiling water; set aside. Sift flour and sugar together twice; set aside.
2. Add the cream of tartar, extracts, salt and coffee mixture to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add brown sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
3. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
4. Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Yield: 12 servings.
