How do you make clouds for a cake?

While you can't create actual clouds, a cloud cake gets its name because of its airy and light texture, similar to the feeling you'd get if you were to eat a cloud! The texture is the focus of this recipe and achieved through properly whipping egg whites.

How long do cloud cakes last?

Cloud cakes are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the cake may lose some of its airy texture the longer it is stored, particularly if it has any cream-based frostings.
