I pack it with a double shot of Baileys per portion, but it can be made much lighter if you wish! Via Happy Veggie Kitchen

Ingredients

• 400g (14oz) can of full fat, unsweetened coconut milk (or use boxed coconut cream and skip the first two steps)

8. Paleo Angel Food Cake

This little cake has only three simple ingredients: egg whites, honey, and almond flour. It doesn’t make a huge cake, like a regular angel food cake recipe.

This cake is only 7-inches around. Without the additions of sugar and cream of tartar, this cake is a little spongier than a normal angel food cake, too. Just so ya’ know.  If you’re not on the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) Diet, you can add in 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the egg whites and the cake will hold its fluffiness a little better.
