Plus, it’s super easy to make, with just a handful of ingredients. Once you try it, you’ll see why this Keto Cloud Cake has become a staple in low-carb baking!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (for a nutty, dense texture—can substitute with coconut flour, but reduce the amount)

  • 4 large eggs (or egg replacer for a vegan option, though it may change the texture slightly)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ⅓ cup stevia or erythritol (adjust sweetness to your taste)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup heavy cream (use coconut cream for a dairy-free version)

  • Pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness)

How to Make Keto Cloud Cake

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Separate the Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the whites in a dry, clean bowl (you’ll need them for whipping).

  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth.

  4. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a third bowl, sift together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Whip the Egg Whites: Beat the egg whites using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This step is key to achieving that fluffy texture!

  6. Fold Everything Together: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate them.

  7. Add Dry Ingredients: Slowly sift in the dry ingredients and fold gently until fully combined.

  8. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

  9. Cool & Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream!

Tips for Success

  • Whipping Egg Whites: Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely dry to avoid any issues with whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks.

  • Gentle Mixing: Be gentle when folding the ingredients together to maintain the fluffiness of the egg whites.

  • Customize: Feel free to add keto-friendly chocolate chips or fresh berries to the batter for extra flavor!

Optional Additions

  • Chocolate Chips: Stir in keto-friendly chocolate chips for a decadent twist.

  • Berries: Top the cake with fresh raspberries or strawberries for a fruity touch.

  • Whipped Cream: Add homemade whipped cream for extra richness and texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Keto Cloud Cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee—it makes for a perfect afternoon treat. You can also transform it into a keto-friendly strawberry shortcake by adding whipped cream and fresh berries!

Storage Tips

  • How to Store: Keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week.

  • Reheating: Microwave individual slices for 20-30 seconds or heat in the oven for a few minutes if you prefer it warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but coconut flour is more absorbent, so use about ¼ to ⅓ of the amount of almond flour and increase the liquid content slightly.
