French Vanilla Angel Food Cake

This French Vanilla Angel Food Cake was amazing! Primal, keto, low carb, and with paleo options, and a big hit with the hubby and kids.

My daughter proclaimed this one of her very favorite low-carb desserts.

I had the idea when making the Devilish Angel Food Mini Cakes. They were really yummy and chocolate, but I really do love regular angel food cake.

When a wonderful viewer commented that she wanted a regular, vanilla version too.

That was it, it had to happen, and I’m so glad it did. Thank you, Denise, for helping make this happen!

Mini vanilla bundt cakes with whipped cream & berries

The primal, paleo and low-carb versions both came out awesome. Next time I‘m going to make this in a cake pan.

As cute as the mini bundt pans are for photos, it is always harder to get the cakes out of the decorative pans.

French Angel Food Mini Cakes Recipe:

Ingredients:

3 eggs, separate whites from yolks.
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar.
2 tablespoon organic cream cheese softened ( full fat kind), or for paleo sub with 2 tablespoon cashew butter+ ½ teaspoon lemon juice, warmed and mixed (dairy free option).
2 tablespoon butter melted, or coconut oil melted, where to buy coconut oil
2 tablespoon coconut flour sifted, where to buy coconut flour
Sweetener of choice: 2 honey for primal / paleo or for low carb use: 2 tablespoon erythritol + 8 drops liquid stevia +2 ½ tablespoon water.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract. organic GF kind
⅛ teaspoon ground vanilla bean * optional can omit (I love extra vanilla).
½ teaspoon baking soda + ½ teaspoon cream of tartar mixed in a separate pinch bowl.

Toppings:

¼ cup organic heavy cream or for dairy-free use coconut cream whipped and sweetened to taste with a few drops honey for paleo / primal or use a few drops liquid stevia for low carb version. Coconut cream or canned coconut milk in the fridge overnight and scoop out solid cream at top of the can
¼ cup berries of choice (I used blueberries and raspberries)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 300 F, and grease or oil a 9-inch cake pan, or mini bundt cake pan (use extra grease or oil for mini bundt cake pan because baked goods stick more in decorative pans).
Separate the egg whites and yolks. Put whites in a large mixing bowl, being careful not to get any yolk in it. Put yolks in a different large mixing bowl and set aside.
Add ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar to egg whites and use a hand mixer or stand mixer on high to whip egg whites. Continue whipping egg whites until stiff peaks form (it takes a few minutes) * see photo above. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl with yolks combine: yolks, softened cream cheese, melted butter, sweetener of choice (honey or low carb kind * see the ingredient list), vanilla extract, optional ground vanilla bean, and sifted coconut flour. Combine thoroughly.
Add baking soda-cream of tartar mixture to the egg yolk-coconut flour batter and mix well.
Add egg yolk-coconut flour batter to the stiff egg whites and fold in with a spatula. Can stir gently, scraping sides a couple of times after folding in. Just be careful not to mix and lose the foamy texture * see photo above.
Spoon foamy batter into prepared 9-inch cake pan, or mini bundt pan *see photo above.
Bake at 300 F for 19 to 20 minutes, or until the top of the cake is browning.
Cool. Use a knife between cake and edge of the pan and slide around to loosen before removing.
