Keto Cloud Cake is a low-carb dish containing a delicious and flavorful taste. It’s soft, light, and airy, with a mild sweetness that melts as quickly as it comes into your mouth. We use some ingredients such as egg whites, vanilla extract, cream cheese, keto sweetener, and lemon juice. The cake’s “cloud” texture is created by carefully folding whipped egg whites into a smooth cream cheese base. It results in a structure that develops nicely without the need for flour or sugar. This Keto Cloud Cake is perfect for breakfast, a snack, and a dessert that is both delicious and low in carbs. You can eat it simply, with a keto berry sauce, or with a cream-filled topping for a more beautiful presentation. This cake is smooth, creamy, and tasty without being heavy, making it ideal as an evening dessert.

INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
EGG WHITE:
- This ingredient is very important to make a fluffy cake. Whip the whites perfectly in a completely dry bowl. We do not have any keto replacement in this cake.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- We use vanilla essence to balance the tang and provide a warm taste in the cake. For another variety, you can use almond extract, which adds a delicious taste to the dish.
LEMON JUICE:
- It helps to maintain the egg whites and improves the flavor of the recipe. If you like a neutral taste, you can use apple cider vinegar, which works properly.
KETO SWEETENER:
- We can use any kind of powdered keto sweetener that works well. You can also use allulose, which creates a fluffly texture because it maintains the cake’s moisture and browns simply.
CREAM CHEESE:
- The use of this cream cheese is to deliver a creamy texture and provide the structure to the cake. If you want a smooth flavor, use mascarpone, which is a perfect substitute.
