1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Grease an 8” x 4” loaf pan with oil spray.
2. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and ¼ cup sugar substitute in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down bowl after each addition. Turn mixer speed down to low and add cream mixture, zest and vanilla. Mix until well-blended, then add bake mix and walnuts and beat until just-combined. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl with an electric mixer, beat egg whites and remaining sugar substitute until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold whites into batter gently, until well-incorporated.
4. Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes; invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
