Description
Cloud cake is a delightful dessert known for its lightness and fluffy texture, made primarily with whipped eggs, sugar, and flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed for 5-7 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gently fold into the egg mixture.
- Drizzle in the vanilla extract and fold until evenly mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture.
- Check the freshness of your baking powder to ensure proper rising.
- Be gentle when folding in the dry ingredients to maintain the batter’s lightness.
