Ingredients
- 200g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 50g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
- 100ml (7 tbsp) milk
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 70g (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
- 40g (⅓ cup) cake flour
- 10g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg yolks (reserve the egg whites) to the blender mixture, along with granulated sugar, cake flour, and cornstarch. Blend until fully combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve your delightful Cloud Cake as is, or top with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
