Instructions
- Heat oven to 325F.

- Add the egg yolks, allulose, stevia, coconut flour, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. Mix on medium-high until well blended, light yellow and creamy (like a whipped frosting consistency). Set aside.

- Fold egg white mixture into cake mixture, about a cup at a time until blended. Do not over mix.
- Spray a springform pan with coconut or other non-stick spray then line with parchment paper. Line the outside of the springform pan with foil and place in a shallow pan. Pour hot water into the pan until there’s about an inch of water on the side of the foiled springform pan.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes.
- Check for doneness with a clean toothpick at center. Remove from the water pan and let cool before removing foil and sides of the pan.
