Flourless Cloud Cake – My Great-Grandmother’s Traditional Recipe

Introduction:
Cloud cake is a unique dessert that combines lightness and taste while being completely gluten-free. The recipe has been passed down through the family for generations, and the story of this cake dates back to my great-grandmother. Although it may seem unusual, its simplicity and distinctive taste have won the hearts of many. With this version, you can enjoy the classic, homemade taste without worrying about gluten. Ingredients:
6 eggs
200 g sugar
200 g butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
200 g mascarpone cheese or cottage cheese
2 tbsp lemon juice
A pinch of salt
Instructions:

Preparation: Separate the egg whites and yolks in a bowl. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff.

Egg mixture: Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Add the melted butter, mascarpone cheese (or cottage cheese) and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.

Mixtures: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, gradually adding the remaining sugar to prevent it from clumping.

Baking: Pour the mixture into a baking tin lined with baking paper (preferably 24 cm in diameter). Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C for about 40-45 minutes, until the surface is golden brown and springy to the touch.
