A special dessert that tastes great with minimal calories can be hard to find, but Patricia Bristow has one for you! The Saint Louis, Missouri cook shares her mother’s recipe for a tender cake with a subtle coffee flavor. It’s sure to be hit!

12 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + cooling

Ingredients

12 egg whites
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons boiling water
1-1/4 cups cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for
30 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve coffee granules in boiling
water; set aside. Sift flour and sugar together twice; set aside.
Add the cream of tartar, extracts, salt and coffee mixture to egg
whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add
brown sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until
stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in
flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter
with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at
350° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top
appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
