Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar substitute
• 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 cup Fat-free unsweetened milk
• 2 pieces Eggs (large, separated)
• 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 1-quart baking dish (or 6 individual ramekins) with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar substitute, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the melted butter, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, milk, and egg yolks to the dry mixture. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the egg white mixture into the lemon batter using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. The batter will look fluffy and slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or divide evenly among the ramekins.

Step 7

Place the baking dish (or ramekins) in a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan, ensuring it surrounds the baking dish/ramekins halfway up the sides for a water bath.

Step 8

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the cake layer has set. The bottom will remain pudding-like.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and carefully take the baking dish/ramekins out of the water bath. Let cool slightly before serving warm or chilled.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a few fresh berries (adjust for sugar allowance if needed).
