LIGHT AND AIRY CLOUD CAKE—COMPLETE RECIPE
INGREDIENTS (Serves 8)
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 4 large egg whites
- ¼ cup zero-calorie granulated sweetener (monk fruit or allulose recommended)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (helps structure and fluffiness)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (helps stabilize egg whites)
- Pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the Pan
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper on the bottom.
Beat the Egg Whites
In a large clean bowl, add egg whites, lemon juice, and salt.
Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add sweetener.
Gradually sprinkle in the sweetener while whipping the egg whites.
Continue mixing until stiff peaks form—the whites should stand tall and glossy.
Prepare the Yogurt Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until completely smooth.
Fold in the egg whites.
Add one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture.
Fold gently using a spatula to lighten the batter.
Add the remaining whites, folding carefully to avoid deflating them.
Pour into the cake pan.
Transfer the airy batter into the prepared cake pan.
Smooth the top gently.
Bake
Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
Avoid opening the oven early to prevent collapsing.
Cool Slowly
Turn off the oven and let the cake cool inside for 10 minutes.
Then remove and cool completely at room temperature.
Chill for Best Texture
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before slicing.
This enhances the cloud-like texture.
Serve
Dust lightly with sugar-free powdered sweetener or top with fresh berries.
