Introduction
Cloud Cake is a light, airy dessert that feels almost weightless—soft, delicate, and gently sweet. Made entirely in a blender and baked to fluffy perfection, this cake is a favorite for those who love simple ingredients and effortless preparation. Once you try it, it’s easy to see why it becomes a twice-a-week tradition.
Description
Cloud Cake has a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a subtle richness from cream cheese and butter. The whipped egg whites give it its signature cloud-like softness, while the gentle sweetness makes it perfect for any time of day—breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon treat.
Ingredients Quantity
200 g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
50 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
100 ml (7 tbsp) milk
4 large eggs, separated
70 g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
40 g (⅓ cup) cake flour
10 g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a blender, add cream cheese, butter, milk, egg yolks, sugar, flour, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and lump-free.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the blended batter in two to three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap gently to release air bubbles.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Let cool completely before removing from the pan. Serve plain or with toppings of choice.
