How to Make Our Slimming Cloud Cake
- Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line an 8-inch round pan with parchment paper.
- Separate your eggs carefully — place yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
- Whip egg whites with cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. This gives your cake that signature cloud texture.
- In the yolk bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, erythritol, vanilla, and almond flour (if using). Mix until silky smooth.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, one-third at a time, to keep it airy and light.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the center.
- Cool completely, then chill for 1 hour before slicing. Serve cold or at room temperature for a “cloudy” bite.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Store: In an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Slice and freeze individually (wrap in parchment) for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Briefly warm in the microwave for 15 seconds or enjoy chilled.
- Serve with: Berries, Greek yogurt, sugar-free chocolate drizzle, or a spoon of light whipped cream.
Tips & FAQs
1. Can I use another sweetener?
Yes — monk fruit, allulose, or stevia blends all work beautifully. Just adjust sweetness to taste.
2. Why did my cloud cake deflate?
Overmixing the egg whites or opening the oven too early can cause collapse. Be gentle and patient.
3. How can I make it extra high in protein?
Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored whey protein to the yolk mixture (reduce almond flour slightly).
4. Is this cake gluten-free?
Absolutely! It’s naturally gluten-free and low in carbs.
5. Can I flavor it differently?
Try adding lemon zest, almond extract, or cocoa powder for variety.
