Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until thick and pale yellow.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture until well combined.
  1. Whip the Egg Whites:
  • In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer.
  • Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  1. Fold the Egg Whites into the Batter:
  • Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the cake batter to lighten it.
  • Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  1. Bake the Cake:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
  1. Cool the Cake:
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
  1. Prepare the Topping:
  • In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  1. Assemble the Cake:
  • Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
  1. Serve:
  • Slice the Cloud Cake and serve it chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the batter to maintain the cake’s light and airy texture.
  • For added flavor, you can fold lemon or orange zest into the cake batter before baking.
  • To ensure the egg whites whip up properly, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are clean and free of any grease.
