Sugar-Free Light & Fluffy Cloud Cake
Sugar-Free Light and Fluffy Cloud Cake
Low carb • Sugar-free cloud cake — 30 minutes, eight slices
This is a sugar-free light and fluffy cloud cake, not a flour sponge. Whipped egg whites and cream cheese bake into a tall white round with a golden edge, then a dust of sugar-free powder, mint, and one berry, like the photo. Thirty minutes. No sugar, no wheat flour.
Eight slices. Do not open the oven early or the cloud sinks.

Health notes

- Eight slices: Macros are per slice. The berry is a garnish.

Key element — stiff whites, no peeking
A flat cake was soft whites or an open oven door. Whip to stiff peaks, fold gently, and bake until the edge is golden, like the photo.
Ingredients
Cake (8 slices)
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup allulose
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- Pinch of salt
Top
- 1 Tbsp powdered allulose, for dusting
- 1 strawberry
- A few mint leaves
Swaps
- Monk fruit blend: Use a 1:1 allulose mix.
- Lemon: Add 1 tsp zest to the yolk mix.
- Flour or powdered sugar: Skip them. That is how carbs jump.
Instructions
| 1 | Heat. Heat oven to 325 F (165 C). Line an 8-inch round pan with parchment. Do not grease the sides. |
| 2 | Yolks. Beat yolks, cream cheese, allulose, vanilla, and salt until smooth. |
| 3 | Whites. Beat whites with cream of tartar to stiff peaks. |
| 4 | Fold. Fold the yolk mix into the whites. Pour into the pan. Bake 18 to 22 minutes. Do not open the door. |
| 5 | Finish. Cool in the pan. Dust with powdered allulose. Add mint and one berry, like the photo. Cut 8 slices. |
Pro tips
- No yolk in the whites or they will not whip.
- Stiff peaks are the cloud. Soft peaks go flat.
- Do not grease the sides. The batter needs to climb.
- Opening the door early sinks the cake.
- Use powdered allulose, not regular powdered sugar.
