 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously oil a 9-inch square pan & dust


 with flour.


 


 2. Place the egg whites in a large bowl, and beat with an electric mixer at


 high speed until they form sturdy peaks.


 


 3. In another large bowl, combine apples with all remaining ingredients


 (including optional nuts & cranberries) & mix well.


 


 4. Use a rubber spatula to fold the beaten egg white into the apple mixture


 until fairly well combined. Transfer to the prepared pan, and bake about 30


 minutes - until a probe comes out clean. Cool before slicing. Serve plain


 or dusted with powdered sugar. NOTES: As its name suggests, this cake is


 very light & fluffy, thanks to the presence of 8 beaten egg whites (& the


 absence of egg yolks, butter, oil or dairy products). A few tips:


 


 1. Separate the eggs when cold, then let the whites come to room


 temperature before beating them.


 


 2. You can grate the apples in a food processor with the grating


 attachment.


 


 3. Be generous when you oil & flour the pan. This cake has a tendency to


 stick.


 


 4. If you can't bring yourself to throw out the egg yolks, save them to


 brush over bread (I buy the litre containers of egg whites at the


 supermarket, so there's no waste., stimps).
