Save A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors—perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
When I made this cloud bread for my nieces' sleepover last month, their excitement was contagious—each slice revealed swirling colors that had everyone smiling.
Ingredients
- Egg Mixture: 3 large eggs, separated. 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. 3 tablespoons cornstarch. 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, for stability). 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Color Additions: Red, yellow, blue, and green gel food coloring (or desired colors).
Instructions
- Prepare Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a large, clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
- Mix Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Color Batter:
- Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.
- Shape Bread:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, side by side, to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bread is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
