Delightful Cloud Cake recipe

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar

For the Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional:

  • Fresh berries or fruit for topping
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, beat egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until pale and thick. Stir in oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture into the yolk mixture and stir until smooth.
  5. In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Slowly add the remaining ¼ cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three parts, using a spatula, until fully incorporated without deflating.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan lightly to remove air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool upside down in the pan (on a wire rack or bottle) to maintain its height and fluffiness.
  10. Once completely cooled, run a knife around the edge and remove the cake.

To make the topping:
11. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
12. Spread or pipe over the cake. Top with fresh berries or fruit if desired. Dust with powdered sugar for a dreamy finish.
