angelfood or strawberry shortcake ?

[ibme]

Hi everyone!
I need some ideas. My husbands birthday is this saturday. He is not a cheesecake eater. I was thinking if somebody knew a recipe for a low carb angelfood cake I could try to make strawberry shortcake. Or if someone has a recipe for a low carb strawberry shortcake that would be even better! Or if you have any other ideas please feel free to share!

What stage of the plan are you and your husband in?

We are now on OWL but I still need to keep the carbs low as we have just moved to OWL.

Here is a recipe adapted from Recipe Zaar:

8 eggs, separated
6-10 packets Splenda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder/shake mix
1/4 cup soy flour

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
3. Add 3 packets of splenda and beat until stiff but not dry.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together yolks and remainder of Splenda (adjust to desired sweetness) with vanilla extract
6. Blend a spoonfool of the white mixture into the yolk mixture.
7. Pour the yolk mixture over the whites and sift the remaining dry ingredients into this.
8. Fold all of this together lightly.
9. spoon into a small bundt pan or loaf pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
10. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until firm, careful not to overbake.


That will make a low-carb angel food cake. Davinci makes a sugar free strawberry syrup that could then be drizzled over it. Just add some homemade whipped cream (just whip some heavy cream) and you have strawberry shortcake.
