☁️ Cloud Cake Recipe (Soft & Fluffy)
🧾 Ingredients
4 large eggs (separated)
120 g cream cheese (or soft mascarpone)
50 ml milk
40 g all-purpose flour
30 g cornstarch
80 g sugar (split: 40 g + 40 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: powdered sugar for topping
👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare oven
Preheat to 150°C
Line a small cake pan (or use parchment in a springform pan)
Make yolk base
Mix egg yolks, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla until smooth
Sift in flour + cornstarch
Stir until no lumps remain
Whip egg whites (key step)
Add a pinch of salt
Whip until foamy
Gradually add half the sugar (40 g)
Continue whipping until soft-to-medium peaks form (fluffy but not dry)
Combine
Gently fold egg whites into yolk mixture in 2–3 batches
Don’t overmix (this keeps it “cloud-like”)
Bake (water bath recommended)
Place pan in a larger tray with hot water
Bake at 150°C for 50–60 minutes
Turn off oven and leave cake inside 10–15 minutes
Serve
Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar
Eat warm or chilled
☁️ Tips for best “cloud” texture
Don’t rush whipping egg whites—this is what makes it fluffy
Fold gently, not vigorously
Water bath prevents cracking and keeps it soft
