Step-by-Step Instructions for Light Fluffy Cloud Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and set aside an ungreased cake pan.

  3. Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl on medium speed until foamy, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Add the cream of tartar and salt, then continue beating until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar while beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Sift in the cake flour in three parts and fold gently into the meringue.
  7. Pour the batter into the pan and gently tap to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden and springs back when touched.
  9. Invert the pan onto a cooling rack immediately and let cool completely.
  10. Run a knife around the edges to release the cake, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
