Cloud Cake – food recipe21

This is the most popular meaning. It refers to an extremely light, fluffy, and airy dessert.

Texture & Taste: Its defining feature is a texture that is soft, pillowy, and melts in the mouth, reminiscent of eating a sweet cloud. It’s often less dense than traditional butter cakes.
Common Types:
- Chiffon Cake: A classic example, using oil and whipped egg whites for lift.
- Angel Food Cake: The lightest of all, made with zero fat (just egg whites, sugar, and flour).
- Japanese Cheesecake (Cotton Cheesecake): A cross between a cheesecake and a soufflé, known for its jiggly, cloud-like texture.
- Trendy “Cloud Cakes”: Social media popularized versions made primarily from whipped egg whites (like the Cloud Bread trend), sometimes baked or set with gelatin.

Occasionally used as a playful or brand name in the tech industry.

Meaning: It can symbolize a product or service that is “light” (easy to use), “floating in the cloud” (cloud-based), and delightful (“sweet” to use).
Example: A software company might nickname its user-friendly cloud platform “Cloud Cake.”

Many bakeries, cafes, or food products use “Cloud Cake” as their name to market cakes that are specifically extra fluffy, soft, and light.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a very clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar while whipping, until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold in the cornstarch, vanilla, and food coloring.
Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet and shape it into a cloud or round mound.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the outside is firm and lightly golden.
Let it cool completely. It will have a crispy exterior and a soft, marshmallow-like interior.
