Cloud Cake

☁️ Cloud Cake (Light & Creamy Blender Cake)
Introduction
Cloud Cake is an incredibly light, soft, and fluffy dessert with a creamy texture that almost melts in your mouth. Made with Cream cheese, eggs, and a few pantry ingredients, it’s often compared to a cross between a cheesecake and a sponge cake.
Ingredients
200 g (7 oz) Cream cheese, softened
50 g (3 tbsp) Butter, softened
100 ml (7 tbsp) Milk
4 large Egg, separated
70 g (⅓ cup) Sugar
40 g (⅓ cup) cake flour
10 g (1 tbsp) Cornstarch
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line a 20 cm (8-inch) cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Blend the Cream Base
   In a blender combine:
   cream cheese
   butter
   milk
   egg yolks
   vanilla extract
   Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
   Add the cake flour and cornstarch to the blender mixture and blend again briefly until smooth.
4. Whip the Egg Whites
   In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with sugar until soft peaks form. This will give the cake its light “cloud” texture.
5. Fold the Batter
   Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese batter in three additions, mixing carefully so the batter stays airy.
6. Prepare for Baking
   Pour the batter into the lined cake pan. Tap the pan lightly to remove large air bubbles.
7. Water Bath Baking
   Place the cake pan inside a larger pan and add hot water halfway up the sides of the cake pan (water bath).
8. Bake
   Bake for 50–60 minutes until the cake is set and lightly golden.
9. Cool Slowly
   Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door slightly open for 15 minutes to prevent collapsing.
10. Chill and Serve
    Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours before slicing.
    Tips for Success
    Make sure the cream cheese is soft for a smooth batter.
    Fold the egg whites gently to keep the cake fluffy.
    The water bath prevents cracking and keeps the cake moist.
