Low Fat Desserts Recipes - Frosted Angel Cake

Ingredients

  • 40g corn flour

  • 40g plain flour

  • 8 eggs whites

  • 225 caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

  • 5ml vanilla essence

  • icing sugar, for dusting

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to IS0'C/350"F /Gas 4. Sift both flours into a bowl.

  2. Whisk the egg whites in a large grease-free bowl until very stiff, then gradually add the sugar and vanilla essence, whisking until the mixture is thick and glossy.

  3. Fold in the flour mixture with a large metal spoon. Spoon into an un-greased 25cm/10in angel cake tin, smooth the surface and bake for 40-45 minutes.

  4. Sprinkle a piece of greaseproof paper with caster sugar and set an egg cup in the centre. Invert the cake tin over the paper, balancing it carefully on the egg cup. When cold, the cake will drop out of the tin. Transfer it to a plate, dust generously with icing sugar and serve.
