LowCarb Italian Sponge Cake

• 5 eggs, separated
• 1 Tbls. plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 Tbls. Soya powder or soy flour*
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 5 Tbls. Splenda
• 1 tsp. grated lemon peel, (zest)
• 4 Tbls. heavy cream

Preheat oven to 325°F.
1) Place egg yolks and Splenda in a bowl. Beat with electric mixer until well blended.
2) Add vanilla extract and lemon peel. Continue to beat and add soy flour one tablespoon at a time.
3) Stir in heavy cream. Beat egg whites in fresh bowl with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
4) Fold yolk mixture into egg whites. Be careful not to break down egg whites - so fold carefully and slowly.
Turn into greased 9" cake pan and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes or until cake tests done.
* Soya Powder is much finer than soy flour, so a lighter cake will result.
