Coconut Cake recipe

I need to make a coconut cake for New Year's Eve.  Does any one have a no sugar added recipe?  It is my little sister's favorite cake.

Sugar Free Coconut Cake

Ingredients

 

• 1 cup egg whites (approximately 8 eggs, or use Just Whites)
• 1 tablespoon ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener
• Sweetener equivalent to 3 tablespoons sugar
• Pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups dried unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 cup ground blanched almonds

   

Directions

Makes 16 servings.

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8-9 inch springform pan.

1. Beat egg whites with ThickenThin not/Sugar thickener, sweetener and vanilla until stiff. Fold in remaining ingredients as gently as possible.

2. Place in preheated oven, turn off heat and leave to bake overnight.

Note: ovens vary in the rate at which they lose heat so, if it comes out too moist, give it more time at no more than 300°F and next time, allow it to bake for a few minutes before turning off the oven.

If you want a smooth-textured cake like a birthday cake, use the finest-ground unsweetened coconut you can find, or run it through a food processor or blender; it will work even if it feels wet. Coarser flakes makes something more like a coffee or snack cake.

Store under refrigeration.

 

ENJOY!!!!

Wow wee that sounds so good, I've not heard of the Thicken Thin not/sugar thickener. where would you get this??? I did find out at my local grocery store that all of the non sugar cake mixes are located in the organic area of the grocery. At least that is what I was told at Kroger. Hope this helps. I am gonna try my hand this week at SF cherry  Crisp. I love Cherries, and I love apple crisp. and for some reason, the holidays seem to be the time to do it. So any suggestion would be appreciated.
