1-3/4 cups packed brown sugar, divided
1 cup cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons Spice Island® Pure Vanilla Extract

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift 1 cup brown sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
Add the cream of tartar, vanilla and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining brown sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.

In a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, bring brown sugar and remaining butter to a boil, stirring constantly. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.

Almond Cheesecake Bars Healthy Gourmet Recipe

I love Almond Cheesecake Bars – A Healthy Baking gourmet recipes that use almond, and almond extract is so fabulous! I always have a can of roasted almonds in the pantry for snacking on too. I also love cheesecake, but making and storing a big cheesecake takes time and space. Cheesecake bars, on the other hand, are quick and they store beautifully, taking up very little room in the fridge.
