Light & Fluffy Cloud Cake is the perfect balance of lightness and flavor. This cake is incredibly soft, airy, and melts in your mouth with every bite. The texture is delicate and fluffy, making it feel almost weightless. Perfect as a simple dessert or dressed up with fresh berries and whipped cream.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

5 large eggs, separated

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
  4. In a large bowl, I sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the cake is light and airy.
  5. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  6. In a separate bowl, I beat the egg yolks with vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  7. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  8. I add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. This forms a smooth batter, but be careful not to overmix.
  9. Beat the Egg Whites:
  10. In another bowl, I beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. The egg whites should hold their shape when you lift the beater.
  11. Fold the Egg Whites into the Batter:
  12. I gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in batches. I start by adding a small portion of the egg whites to lighten the batter, then gradually fold in the rest, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  13. Bake the Cake:
  14. I pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Cool the Cake:
  16. Once baked, I remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, I transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
