Apple Cloud Cake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




Oil and flour for the pan
8 egg whites
3 cups grated peeled apple, about 2 large apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts, optional
1 cup minced cranberries, optional
Powdered sugar for topping



Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously oil a 9-inch square pan and dust with flour.

Place the egg whites in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer at high speed until they form sturdy peaks.

In another large bowl, combine apples with all remaining ingredients (including optional nuts and cranberries) and mix well.

Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten egg white into the apple mixture until fairly well combined. Transfer to the prepared pan, and bake about 30 minutes until a probe comes out clean. Cool before slicing. Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar.

NOTES: As its name suggests, this cake is very light and fluffy, thanks to the presence of 8 beaten egg whites (and the absence of egg yolks, butter, oil or dairy products).

A FEW TIPS: Separate the eggs when cold, then let the whites come to room temperature before beating them. You can grate the apples in a food processor with the grating attachment. Be generous when you oil and flour the pan. This cake has a tendency to stick.
