Soft Cloud Cake (No Sugar • No Flour)
Description
This cake is light, airy, and melt-in-the-mouth soft.
It relies on eggs and dairy for structure, not flour or sugar. The texture is similar to a Japanese-style cotton cake or soufflé, gently cooked so it rises tall and stays moist.
✔ No sugar
✔ No wheat or flour
✔ Very soft & fluffy
✔ Kid-friendly & diet-friendly
