Lemon Cake Almost Sugar Free

I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Group Recipes. I plan to use Splenda for baking for the sugar.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

•  aerosol baker's spray with flour
• 3  tablespoons reduced fat margarine
• 3⁄4 cup egg substitute
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 5 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute
• 1⁄4 cup  very hot water
• 1  tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1  teaspoon  grated lemon zest
• 1 1⁄2 cups cake flour, sifted
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 6  large  egg whites
• 1  pinch salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Lightly coat a nonstick 10-inch springform pan with aerosol baker's spray.
3. Melt the margarine and set aside to cool. Beat the egg substitute until creamy and light. Continue to beat and add the sugar and sugar substitute slowly, until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Slowly add the water, lemon juice, cooled margarine, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Combine the flour and baking powder. Sift over the batter and fold in gently, using as few strokes as possible.
4. Beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold stiff peaks. Gently fold the whites into the batter, trying not to deflate them. Place in the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until browned and the cake tests done. Cool in the pan on a rack. Remove sides of the pan and cut into slices to serve.
5. This cakes lends itself to all kinds of garnishes. Cut it in half and fill with nonfat sugarless frozen whipped topping and fresh or thawed frozen sliced berries for a festive dessert. Or serve it plain with hot tea for an afternoon treat.
