Sierra's Cloud Bread


Sierra's Peruvian Cloud Bread

My amazing niece Sierra sent me this amazing recipe to me from Peru and I LOVE it!  I call it Sierra's "Cloud Bread" because the texture is light and airy, unlike so many gluten free breads that tend to be dense and tasteless.  This is a wonderful, low carb, full of protein substitute for bread, buns or rolls.  Smothered in peanut butter like a sandwich or on the side with a bowl of chili or soup, it's the perfect, low carb, ketone friendly complement!

3 eggs, separated
3 Tablespoons cream cheese
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 Tablespoon honey

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Separate the eggs -in one bowl place egg whites and in a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese and honey until smooth.
In the egg white bowl add cream of tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form stiff "peaks".  Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites. Spoon the mixture into 10 even rounds on the baking sheet* and put it in the oven. Bake for 17-20 minutes on the middle rack. 
*optionally add a dash or salt, garlic powder, 1 Tablespoon Parmesan cheese, or sprinkle with rosemary before cooking. Makes 10 clouds.

This decadent cake has a deep, dark chocolate flavor. The original version is chock full of calories, fat and carbs. This slimed down version has only 6 carbs for one piece. 

1/2 cup butter
1/4 dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Splenda
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350.  Line an 8 inch cake pan with wax paper.  In medium bowl microwave butter and chocolate 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stir until smooth.  Add cocoa powder and mix well.  Stir in sugar and Splenda.  In small bowl whisk eggs until blended.  Add eggs to chocolate mixture, stirring as you add them.  Pour batter into prepared pan.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a knife - it should come out clean. Cake will be moist but not gooey. Cool and cut into 12, rich slices.
