The best part? It\u2019s simple to prepare and perfect for enjoying with your morning coffee or afternoon tea.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>200g (7 oz) cream cheese, softened<\/li>\n<li>50g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, softened<\/li>\n<li>100ml (7 tbsp) milk<\/li>\n<li>4 large eggs, separated<\/li>\n<li>70g (\u2153 cup) granulated sugar<\/li>\n<li>40g (\u2153 cup) cake flour<\/li>\n<li>10g (1 tbsp) cornstarch<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Instructions<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat your oven to <strong>320\u00b0F (160\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line the bottom of a round cake pan with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li>Place the softened cream cheese, butter, and milk in a heatproof bowl. Gently warm the mixture over a double boiler, stirring until everything is completely smooth and well combined. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.<\/li>\n<li>Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth.<\/li>\n<li>Sift in the cake flour and cornstarch. Mix gently until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.<\/li>\n<li>In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until you get soft, glossy peaks. Do not overbeat.<\/li>\n<li>Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese batter in <strong>three additions<\/strong>. Use a spatula and fold slowly to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. This will give your cake its beautiful cloud-like texture.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and gently tap the pan once or twice on the counter to remove large air bubbles.<\/li>\n<li>Place the cake pan in a larger baking tray and pour in some hot water to create a <strong>water bath<\/strong>. This helps the cake bake gently and prevents it from cracking.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for approximately <strong>50\u201360 minutes<\/strong>, or until the cake is lightly golden on top and feels set but still soft and delicate.<\/li>\n<li>Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the oven door slightly open for about <strong>10\u201315 minutes<\/strong>. This helps prevent the cake from shrinking too quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before carefully removing it from the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>\u00a0Serving Suggestion<\/h2>\n<p>Serve this beautiful Cloud Cake plain or with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar. It\u2019s wonderfully soft, creamy, and delicious with a cup of coffee or tea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0CLOUD CAKE \u2014 LIGHT, FLUFFY &amp; DELICIOUS This Cloud Cake is incredibly soft, fluffy, creamy, and light as a cloud!\u00a0&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6869"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6871,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6869\/revisions\/6871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
