Ingredients List

Dry Ingredients

½ cup almond flour (or oat flour for non-keto)
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
¼ cup granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice)

Wet Ingredients

4 large eggs, separated
½ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (blended smooth)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Whipped “Cloud” Layer

½ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
2 tbsp powdered erythritol
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Whites (The Secret to Fluffiness)

Place the egg whites in a clean bowl.
Beat on high speed until soft peaks form.
Slowly add 2 tbsp powdered sweetener and continue beating until glossy stiff peaks form.
Set aside — this is your “cloud base.”

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

Egg yolks
Greek yogurt
Vanilla extract
Lemon juice

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
Mix until combined — batter will be slightly thick.

Step 3: Fold the Clouds Into the Batter

Gently fold HALF of the beaten egg whites into the batter until incorporated.
Add the remaining half and fold again — do not stir or overmix.
You want the batter airy and fluffy.

Step 4: Bake the Cloud Cake

Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 8-inch round cake pan.

Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 22–26 minutes, or until:

Lightly golden
Jiggly-soft in the center
A toothpick comes out mostly clean

Let the cake cool fully — it will deflate slightly into a soft, tender texture.

Step 5: Make the Whipped Cloud Topping

Whip heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Spread over the completely cooled cake for the perfect cloud-like finish.

Chill at least 1 hour for the best texture.

Additional Notes

Cake is intentionally soft, airy, and light — like a marshmallow sponge.
For extra fluffiness, sift dry ingredients first.
To make it dairy-free, use coconut cream and almond yogurt.
