The Viral “Cloud Cake” Everyone Is Raving About (With Full Recipe)
6. The Cool-Down (Crucial Step!)
Turn off the oven and prop the oven door open slightly with a wooden spoon. Leave the cake inside for 15 to 20 minutes. This slow cooling process prevents the sudden temperature drop that causes soufflés to deflate.
Baker’s Success Tips
- No Springform Pans: If you must use a springform pan, wrap the bottom and sides securely in 3 to 4 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil to stop the water bath from leaking inside.
- Cake Flour is Best: Cake flour has a lower protein content than regular flour, which yields a much softer, more delicate crumb structure.
- Serve Chilled: While it is delicious warm, chilling the Cloud Cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours allows the cheese flavors to deepen and creates a texture that melts like ice cream on your tongue.
Dust generously with powdered sugar right before slicing, and enjoy your very own slice of heaven!
