🛒 Ingredients
🥚 Base Ingredients
- 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (whey or casein)

- ⅓ cup monk fruit sweetener (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line a 7–8 inch round pan with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix the Yolks
In a bowl combine:
- Greek yogurt
- Egg yolks
- Protein powder
- Cornstarch
- Sweetener
- Vanilla
- Lemon zest
Whisk until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Whip the Egg Whites
In a separate clean bowl:
- Add egg whites + pinch of salt
- Beat until stiff peaks form
This is what gives the cake that cloud texture.
4️⃣ Fold Gently
Add egg whites into batter in 3 stages.
Fold gently using a spatula.
Do NOT overmix — keep air inside.
5️⃣ Bake
Pour into prepared pan.
Tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
Bake 45–50 minutes until set in center.
Turn oven off, crack door slightly, and let cake cool inside for 20 minutes (prevents sinking).
6️⃣ Chill
For best texture, refrigerate 2–3 hours before slicing.
