Protein Cake

Ingredients

• 160 g egg whites (from 5–6 eggs)
• 0.5 tsp Weinstein baking powder (from the health food store)
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 150 g fine sugar
• 90 g flour
• 1 tsp real bourbon vanilla
• powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 1 bottle ready-made chocolate sauce

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat oven to 175°C. Whisk egg whites until frothy. Add baking powder and salt, continue whisking. When it thickens, gradually fold in about 50 g of sugar. Fold in 1 tbsp cold water.

2. 2.

   Mix the remaining 100 g sugar with flour and vanilla, then sprinkle over the meringue and gently fold just to combine. Pour batter immediately into a special angel cake pan or a greased ring mold and bake for about 30 minutes.

3. 3.

   Turn the pan onto a cooling rack and let the cake cool in the pan. Only then carefully remove it from the mold. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve slices with plum compote or chocolate sauce.
