2 Ingredient Honey Cloud Cake (No Flour, Butter or Oil)

This cloud cake has such a unique texture. It is so fluffy and light,that it feels like you are eating a cloud. This cake is just 2 ingredients and doesn’t require flour,butter,or oil. The cake is airy and soft and melts in your mouth as you eat it.

I’m excited to share this fun dessert. It may look like a regular cake,but you’ll be surprised when you start eating it. It’s a great dessert to serve at a gathering or to make for your family.

ingredient

Honey: Honey acts as a sweetener and provides flavor. If you only make this cake with plain sugar or syrup,you will taste the egg whites. But because honey has such a strong flavor,it overpowers the flavor of the egg whites. This cake will likely work with other syrups but you need to make sure to choose a syrup with a strong flavor and one that doesn’t contain any fat (like milk,oil,butter) because you won’t be able to whip the batter to stiff peaks if you have fat in the ingredients.

Cloud Cake

This cake is inspire by a portuguese dessert know as Molotof Pudding . It is sometimes refer to as cloud cake ,  portuguese egg white pudding ,or portuguese pudding cake . traditional molotof pudding is made using egg white and sugar . A caramel sauce is also add to the cake pan before add in the egg white sugar batter . When the dessert is finish bake ,it ’s flip out of its pan so that the caramel sauce drizzle down the cake .

The first molotof pudding I came across was actually called cloud cake. I really loved the cloud texture of the molotof pudding but wanted to make a simpler version. This cake I am sharing today has a similar cloud-like texture. However,the texture isn’t quite the same because the egg whites are not mixed with sugar. And instead of pouring the syrup only at the bottom of the pan,it’s mixed directly in the batter. As a result,the cake doesn’t achieve as much height as the pudding,but it is wonderfully soaked and flavored.

This cake has a very light and airy texture. It is also very soft and moist from the honey.

How to Make Cloud Cake

The egg white and honey are beat to stiff peak . The batter is then pour into a bundt pan or similar tube pan . It is then bake in a water bath . bake it in the water bath keep the cake moist and help the cake rise .

• 5 large egg whites
• 3 oz (89 ml) honey

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease the interior of a 6 cup bundt pan with cooking oil spray.

• add egg white to a large mix bowl . beat at high speed with whisk attachment until light and frothy . Without turn off your mixer ,gradually add in the honey and continue to beat until stiff peak form . You is do can also do this with a handheld mixer but I prefer a stand mixer because that make it easy to pour in the honey gradually .

• Add your batter to the bundt pan. You want to add your batter in layers. Add enough batter to cover the bottom of your pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly across,while also applying light pressure so that the batter will take the form of the cake pan. When you are done with one layer,add more batter,and repeat. Doing it this way will also prevent any large air pockets in the middle of your cake. Bang the bottom of your cake pan against your counter a few times to remove any remaining air pockets from the batter.

• The cake is going to be cooked in a water bath. To do this,place your cake pan into a larger baking pan. I used a 9 x 13baking pan. Pour 1/2 inch of water into the larger pan. Then put your cake pan inside the larger pan.

• Bake for about 15 minutes at 350°F (177°C). Check on your cake after 15 minutes but don’t open the oven door. It is very important that you don’t open the oven door because you need the heat to continue to cook the cake. The top of your cake should have risen slightly above the cake pan and be a medium brown color. You do want to be careful not to overbake the cake while the oven is on (see notes section for more details). Without opening the oven door,turn off the oven and let the cake continue to cook for 30 minutes with the oven door shut. Your cake will continue to rise once the oven is turned off. It should rise to double the volume of the original batter before starting to sink down a little.

• After 30 minutes,you can remove the cake from the oven. Let the cake cool in the water bath for 10 minutes,then remove from the water bath and let the cake continue to cool in the pan. The cake will shrink a little more as it cools. Once the cake has cooled,flip cake over onto a plate. If desired,drizzle with more honey before serving. The cake looks and tastes best the day it is made so I don’t recommend making the dessert a day ahead of time. Leftovers can be stored in fridge in an airtight container.

• 3oz of honey refers to volume not weight. It is also equal to 6 tbsp of honey. I found this to be the perfect level of sweetness for my family but I know people’s sweet preferences can vary greatly. If you wish for a sweeter cake,you can use 1/2 cup (4 oz) of honey instead of 3oz. I found 1/2 cup of honey too sweet but the cake still baked properly. You can also just drizzle more honey or syrup on the cake after it is finished.
• This recipe uses egg whites from 5 large eggs (using US standards).
• You do need to be careful not to overbake the cake. I found that even baking 5 extra minutes when the oven is on completely changed the results. Overbaking it will cause the cake to shrivel up once it cools. Instead of a cake it will be like a compact bread (cloud bread if you’ve ever had it).
• The cake will only rise a little above your cake pan when you turn off your oven and should be brown on the surface. Your cake will continue to cook and rise higher after the oven is turned off. It should rise to close to double its original size before gradually sinking back down.
• This recipe is for a small cake made in a 6 cup bundt pan. I used a Nordicware 6 cup bundt.*

• This is the smaller size bundt,half the size of the more common 12 cup bundt pan. You can also make this cake in other tube pans with the same capacity,just make sure it doesn’t have a removable bottom,otherwise the water will leak in. This cake is good for a small family but if you want to make it for a larger party,you can try doubling the recipe and bake in a 12 cup bundt pan. The baking time should remain the same. (I haven’t tried doubling it myself but I think it should work).
