Ingredients
Cloud Cake Base
125 grams liquid egg whites (about 4 large egg whites)

8-inch round silicone pan

How to Make Cloud Cake
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 392°F (200°C).
If using a silicone pan, no greasing is needed.
If using a regular pan, line the bottom with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
2. Whip the Egg Whites
Pour the liquid egg whites into a clean, dry mixing bowl.
Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form — this should take 3–4 minutes.
You’ll know they’re ready when:
• The mixture is glossy
• Peaks stand straight without collapsing
• The bowl can be gently tilted without movement
3. Fold in the Protein Powder
Sprinkle 34 grams of angel food cake protein powder over the whipped egg whites.
Using a spatula, gently fold the powder in with slow, sweeping motions.
Do NOT stir or mix aggressively — folding preserves the airy texture.
4. Transfer to Pan
Spoon the mixture into your prepared 8-inch pan.
Gently smooth the top without pressing down.
5. Bake
Bake at 392°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
The cake should:
• Puff up slightly
• Feel set on top
• Remain pale (do not overbake)
6. Cool
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Gently release from the pan and cool completely before slicing.
