      \ud83c\udf2c\ufe0f How to Make the Cloud Cake<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n

      Step 1: Preheat and Prepare<\/h4>\n

      Preheat your oven to\u00a0325\u00b0F (160\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line the bottom of a round 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper\u2014do not grease<\/strong>\u00a0the sides (this helps the cake cling and rise).<\/p>\n

      Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites<\/h4>\n

      In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a\u00a0pinch of salt<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0cream of tartar<\/strong>\u00a0until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be glossy and hold its shape.<\/p>\n

      Step 3: Fold in the Flour<\/h4>\n

      Sift the flour over the egg white mixture and gently fold it in using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter. Add vanilla extract and gently mix until just incorporated.<\/p>\n

      Step 4: Bake It Light<\/h4>\n

      Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top and bake for\u00a025\u201330 minutes<\/strong>, or until the top is lightly golden and the cake springs back when touched.<\/p>\n

      Step 5: Cool the Cake<\/h4>\n

      Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan. Then gently run a knife around the edges and release the cake.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \ud83c\udf53 Topping the Cloud<\/h3>\n

      Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread over the cooled cake and top with\u00a0fresh fruit<\/strong>\u00a0for a refreshing finish.<\/p>\n

      Dust with powdered sugar for that\u00a0ethereal cloud-like look.<\/strong><\/p>\n
