Some time back, I've baked a Yellow Butter Cake using just egg yolks and now with a container full of egg whites sitting in my freezer for months, I've decided to try baking a cake with egg whites only. This recipe has been adapted from here.
Ingredients:
1 cup egg whites
150g castor sugar
160g plain flour, sift
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
60g butter (melted and cooled)
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g dark chocolate, melted in the microwave
- Preheat oven to 160 deg C. Grease a bundt pan and dust with flour. Shake away excess flour.
- Beat egg whites until foamy and add in cream of tartar. Continue whisking until soft peaks form. Gradually add in sugar, beating until stiff and shiny.
- Gently fold in sifted flour and melted butter and vanilla extract. Fold thoroughly.
- Pour half of the cake batter into a separate bowl and stir in melted chocolate.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared pan by alternating spoons of vanilla batter and chocolate batter. Gently swirl together with a knife, taking care not to over mix.
- Bake for about 35 minutes or until cake is done.
Hi Veronica, I had this recipe for sometime already but didn't try it. Seeing this post makes me want to try it. Thanks.
