A dieter's dream is right! Especially a cealic's! While there needs to be a few tweaks here and there, I am utterly thrilled this was posted. I am going to have to play around with it, but it was well worth the effort. Some tips from my few tries: First, I will say that yes, it is vital that every step be followed exactly. I didn't feel like seperating 12 eggs for their whites, so I bought a carton of egg whites. I used 2 cups, which according to the package should have made for 8 large eggs, but next time I may use only 1 3/4 cups, as the middle really tasted of egg. Second, my biggest mistake was not listing to my cooking intuition and greasing the pan- I am sure I burned all the calories from the cake I ate by scrubbing the pan when I was done. At least lightly spray with cooking spray so that you don't have big, white chunks of regret on your pans. Otherwise, I am SO glad I ran across this recipe; if you are gluten-free (or wheat-free like me) and are trying to cut calories, give it a whirl!
