Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 pieces Egg whites (large)
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fat-free sour cream
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and ensure the oven rack is in the middle position.

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, then dust it with a light coating of flour to ensure easy removal of the cake after baking.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until frothy, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, about 1/4 cup at a time, while continuing to beat. Mix for another 2-3 minutes until glossy and well combined.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract, fat-free sour cream, and unsweetened applesauce to the egg mixture, and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 7

Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Mix until just combined and no streaks of flour are visible.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack before gently removing the cake from the pan.

Step 11

Cool the cake completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your fat-free sour cream pound cake as is, or pair it with fresh fruit for a delightful treat!
