Diet fat sugar wheat free apple chocolate cake

Having a quite bad insulin problem, i am always on the hunt for sugar free 'protein' deserts. Egg white are a great base of 100% protein and no fat to make deserts, then focus on adding flavours, not sugar. This is a lovely mild tasting apple cake made with cocoa and egg white.

Method

I just peeled and chopped the apples an put them in a big mixing bowl, added about 12 egg whites and a couple of yokes, a small scoop of protein powder, some raw cocoa powder, a splash of soy milk , a handful of frozen berries and mixed it all together and pored into a baking tin (lined with baking paper) and into the oven at 150C for not too long.

The egg whites cook into a gentle sponge (no whisking - tried this another time and it had too mcuh air) and the apples give the sweetness and structure.

When it is firm, take out of the oven.

I used mashed chocolate sapote fruit over the top to look like icing with almond slivers.

I totally was expecting it to be a dud but was a hit with the family and everyone appreciated a desert that didn't leave you feeling sick and over-full.
