LOW CARB PROTEIN ANGEL FOOD CAKE
(Protein-Packed / Low Calorie / Low Carb)
If you’re an angel food cake lover, you know that they make the best light dessert – especially as the weather gets warmer during spring and summer. It’s a great way to enjoy a sweet treat with some refreshing strawberries or fruit added to the top.
This Low Carb Protein Angel Food Cake is a little different though! It’s made using egg whites, which keeps it low-carb, and it’s packed with extra protein using our MariGold Creamy Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder. This also gives it that extra vanilla-y goodness!
The cream cheese frosting is rich and flavorful and is perfectly paired with sliced strawberries for a truly delightful combination. However, you can use blueberries or any fruit of your choice. Make it your own!
This recipe is low-carb, low-calorie and protein-rich!Â
It’s the perfect dessert!

- 21 tbsp liquid egg whites (or 7 egg whites)
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp stevia
- 1 Scoop (15g)Â MariGold Creamy Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 pkg sugar-free cheesecake Jello pudding mix
- 1 tbsp confectioners sugar substitute
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- Sliced strawberries (optional)
- Preheat oven to 315 F. Spray a medium-sized springform cake pan with cooking spray.
- Add the egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the protein powder and stevia carefully, as you do not want to deflate the egg whites.
- Place your egg white cake batter in a standard-sized cake pan and bake for 20 minutes.
- Let the cake cool, then place in the fridge for 30 min or so. The cake will deflate slightly.
- In a small mixing bowl, add cream cheese, sweetener, pudding mix, greek yogurt, and almond milk. Mix with a hand mixture until combined. Keep cool until your cake is ready to be frosted.
- Place the cake carefully on the surface you plan to serve it or just keep it on the bottom of your cake pan as I did.
- Using a rubber spatula, carefully frost the cake. The cake is very fragile so be careful!
- Top with fresh strawberries if desired. Slice into 8 slices and enjoy!
