Ingredients
Scale
Angel Food Cake
- 11 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted
- 1/4 cup arrowroot flour, sifted
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup Powdered Swerve Confectioners Sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cream of tarter
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- Berries of choice for the parfait. (I used strawberries and blueberries)
Coconut Whipped Cream
- 2 cans unsweetened coconut milk, unshaken, refrigerated overnight
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Powdered Swerve Sweetener (or Powdered Monk Fruit)
Instructions
Angel Food Cake
- Add the egg whites to a bowl and cover with a towel. Allow to sit for 20 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 325F.
- In a food processor, add in the coconut flour and arrowroot flour. Pulse together for about 20 seconds. Set to the side.
- Place the room temperature egg white in a standing mixing bowl. Beat on high spead until it begins to foam. Once that happens, add in the cream of tarter, vanilla extract, lemon juice and salt.
- Beat all together on high speed.
- Slowly begin adding the Swerve Powdered Sweetener. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
- Take the dry ingredients from the food processor and fold in using a spatula. Do this in 1/4 cup cup increments. Make sure to do this slowly. You don’t want to deflate the egg whites.
- Slowly scoop the mixture into a 10 inch UNGREASED Angel Food pan.
- Bake at 325 for about 35-40 minutes until lightly golden.
- When removing from the oven, immediately invert pan onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely, around 2 hours or so. Run a knife along the edges of the pan and carefully plate the cake.
Coconut Whipped Cream
- Place the cans of full fat coconut milk in the fridge overnight.
- Remove and open the cans. Drain off the liquid and keep the thick cream.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the coconut cream, the powdered swerve, lemon juice and the vanilla extract using a hand held mixer. Mix until stiff peaks forms.
Parfaits
- Cut once slice of cake for each parfait. Crumble it up and add half to the bottom of a glass.
- Top with a couple of tablespoons of coconut whipped cream and berries
- Repeat the process once more time.
- Top with lemon zest along with more berries if desired and enjoy.
Notes
- Adding the coconut flour and arrowroot flour to the food processor is key. This will ensure that your cake is fluffy and not dense.
- Make sure to fold in the dry ingredients slowly. Do not stir fast or over-mix.
- In place of arrowroot, you can also sub tapioca flour.
- I recommend using an actual Angel Food Cake Pan that has a tub. It makes removing the cake so much easier.
