🌥️ Light and Airy Cloud Cake (WW-Friendly)
💡 Zero to Low Point Version (approx. 0–2 WW points per slice depending on your plan)
🧾 Ingredients:
-
6 large egg whites (room temperature)
-
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
-
Pinch of salt
-
1/3 cup zero-calorie sweetener (like Stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol)
-
1/4 cup cornstarch (or potato starch)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
🍰 Optional Low-Point Topping:
-
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
-
1 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
Fresh berries for topping (zero points on most WW plans)
🥣 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 325°F (160°C). Line a springform or round cake pan with parchment on the bottom only.
2. Beat Egg Whites:
In a mixing bowl, add egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form.
Slowly add sweetener while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
3. Fold & Flavor:
Gently fold in the cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon zest (if using). Do not overmix — you want to keep it fluffy.
4. Bake:
Pour into the pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until lightly golden and springy.
5. Cool Completely:
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool fully on a rack.
6. Make Yogurt Topping (Optional):
Mix Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla. Chill until ready to serve.
7. Serve:
Top cake with yogurt “frosting” and berries, or enjoy plain. Light, sweet, and cloud-like!
