1 3/4 cup Atkins Bake Mix
1 cup granular sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon zest
9 large eggs, at room temperature, separated
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
1 quart strawberries, halved
1/2 cup blueberries
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 13 x 9 baking pan with
parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl whisk bake mix, sugar substitute, salt
and zest. Combine yolks, water, oil and 2 teaspoons
vanilla extract. Slowly add the liquid mixture into the dry
mixture, whisking until just combined.
3. With an electric mixer on high, beat whites and cream of
tartar until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
4. Using a rubber spatula, fold whites into batter in three
additions. Pour batter into prepared pan, spread evenly
and smooth top. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until toothpick
inserted in center comes out clean and sides have just
started to pull away from the pan. Allow cake to cool
completely, about 1 hour.
5. Transfer cake to a serving platter, running a sharp knife
around the side to help release. Insert strips of waxed
paper underneath cake. With an electric mixer on high,
beat cream, remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and
sugar substitute until soft peaks form. Using a metal
spatula, spread whipped cream in an even layer on top
and sides of cake.
6. Form stars by arranging blueberries in upper left corner
of cake to form a 4x3 blue square. Form "stripes" by
arranging strawberries in 4 equally-spaced horizontal
lines across cake.
Our patriotic dessert is a tender vanilla cake topped with a layer
of whipped cream and berries.
