Italian Almond Cake

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe that was submitted by Plan Z dieter Nancy.

Servings:  8 servings

Ingredients: 

• 5 eggs, separated
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp organic vanilla
• 1 tsp almond flavoring
• zest and juice of a lemon
• 10 tsp Truvia
• 2 cups of super fine ground almond flour
• powdered ZSweet for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Grease springform pan (or a 10″ round cake pan). It is easier if you then line the pan with parchment paper.

Beat egg yolks until light in color then add the rest of the ingredients except the egg whites.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form a soft peak. Add 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the other mixture and mix well. Add the rest of the egg whites and put in the greased pan.

Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from the pan.  If you want, you can dust with powdered ZSweet for added sweetness.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
