Author Sarah Pope

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot powder
  • 1.5 cups coconut palm sugar
  • 1.5 cups egg whites about 12
  • 1.5 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Run coconut or palm sugar through the food processor to achieve a fine texture. Mix coconut flour, arrowroot powder, and 3/4 cups coconut or palm sugar in a bowl with a wire whip and set aside.

  2. In a second bowl, whip egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until foamy but not stiff. Slowly add (2 TBL at a time) remaining coconut sugar. Whip until stiff peaks form.

  3. Fold in vanilla and almond extract. With a rubber scraper or whisk, carefully fold the flour mixture into the egg whites mixture adding 2-3 tablespoons at a time.

  4. Put into tube pan. Bake Paleo angel food cake at 375 F/ 191 C for 30-35 min or until the top springs back when lightly touched.

  5. Remove angel food cake from oven and invert to cool.

  6. NOTE: This Paleo angel food cake has a lovely caramel flavor and is moister than regular angel food cake but with similar texture. It also doesn’t rise quite as high as regular angel food cake.

    Is it ok if you use a vanilla pod for this recipe instead vanilla extract?

    This sounds delicious and not to difficult to make. What are the nutritional facts such as calories, fat, carbs, fiber etc?
