🍰 Cloud Cake (Blender Version)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat to 320°F (160°C).
  • Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
  • Optional: Wrap the outside of the pan with foil and bake in a water bath (for even moisture and no cracks).

2. Make the Batter in a Blender:

  • In your blender, add:
    • Cream cheese
    • Butter
    • Milk
    • Egg yolks (save whites for later)
    • Sugar
    • Cake flour
    • Cornstarch
    • Vanilla
  • Blend until smooth and creamy (about 30–60 seconds). Scrape sides if needed.

3. Whip Egg Whites Separately:

  • In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the blender mixture in 2–3 batches. Use a spatula to fold slowly so you don’t deflate the batter.

4. Bake:

  • Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • If using a water bath, bake slightly longer (~60 mins).

5. Cool:

  • Let it cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 10–15 minutes to prevent collapse.
  • Once cooled, refrigerate for 1–2 hours for best texture.

To Serve:

  • Dust with powdered sugar
  • Top with berries, lemon curd, or whipped cream
  • Or enjoy as-is — fluffy and light!

Tips:

  • No blender? Use a hand mixer or food processor for the wet ingredients.
  • Want it sweeter? Add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the yolk mix.
  • No cake flour? Use all-purpose flour + 1 tsp cornstarch per 1/3 cup.
