Vegetable oil spray for greasing loaf pan
1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granular sugar substitute, divided
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream mixed with 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons orange zest, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Atkins Quick Cuisine
TM Bake Mix
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and finely ground
2 large egg whites
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease an 8 x 4 loaf pan with oil
spray.
2. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter
and cup sugar substitute in a large bowl until light and
fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time,
scraping down bowl after each addition. Turn mixer
speed down to low and add cream mixture, zest and
vanilla. Mix until well-blended, then add bake mix and
walnuts and beat until just-combined. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg
whites and remaining sugar substitute until stiff peaks
form, about 3 minutes. Fold whites into batter gently,
until well-incorporated.
4. Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake 30 to 35
minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes; invert onto wire rack to
cool completely.
You can be creative with this basic recipe by using different nuts
and citrus fruits.
