  • Add Truvia a little at a time.

  • Fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.
  • Pour batter into a large ungreased tube pan and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

  • Combine 1/2 c. Truvia and 1 c. water in a small skillet.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the lemon slices and simmer until tender and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Drain and cool on a wire rack.
  • For Whipped Topping:
  • Combine heavy whipping cream, 3 Tbsp. Truvia, and lemon extract in a large chilled mixing bowl.
  • Using chilled beaters, beat at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
