How to Make Low Fat Low Calorie Chiffon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup Splenda (or other granulated sugar substitute), 2 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. Add to the well: 4 large egg yolks, ½ cup water, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce.
  5. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until the batter is smooth and well combined (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with 1 tsp cream of tartar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. The batter should be light and airy.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Invert the cake immediately onto a wire rack and let it cool completely (at least 45 minutes).
  11. Once cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan. Slice and serve. Garnish with fresh strawberries (optional).
