With this delight, you will impress everyone and leave your guests drooling. So, get the mixer ready and let's go to the kitchen!
Japanese Cloud Cake Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 and 1/2 cups of wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Vanilla essence to taste
Setting up our cloud:
Guys, this recipe is so easy you won't even believe it! The ingredients are super simple and you probably already have everything at home. The wheat flour and baking powder are responsible for making the cake super fluffy and soft, like a real cloud! ☁️ The egg yolk will give it that beautiful yellow color and the beaten egg whites will make the cake even lighter and airier.
Preparation method:
- Mixing the dry ingredients: In a bowl, sift the wheat flour and yeast. Set aside.
- Beating the wet ones: In a mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until you get a light and fluffy cream. Then add the oil and milk, beating for a few more seconds.
- Bringing it all together: Alternate adding the flour mixture and the beaten egg whites, starting and ending with the flour. Mix gently with a whisk, using circular motions to avoid losing the air in the egg whites.
- Baking: Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Finishing: Remove from the oven, wait for it to cool and unmold. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Tip from Dona Emilia:
To make your cloud cake even tastier, you can add chopped fruit to the batter, such as strawberries or blueberries. Or, prepare a red fruit syrup to accompany it. Delicious!
