Flourless Cloud Cake – A Traditional Recipe from My Great-Grandma

Directions:

Preparation: In a bowl, separate the eggs into egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form with a pinch of salt.

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

Combining ingredients: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, gradually adding the remaining sugar to prevent it from collapsing.

Baking: Pour the mixture into a baking tin (preferably 24 cm in diameter) lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (350°F) for approximately 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and springy to the touch.
