This was really good! I actually added another teaspoon of orange zest, as per MGs recommendation. Using the beaten egg whites helps keep cake moist and light. Be sure to use cake flour and not regular flour, as it also helps the texture.Thanks, Susie, for posting a dessert diabetics can indulge in! :)
