Whole cake: 405kcal, 33g protein, 62g carbs, 10g fat
Here’s what you’ll need for this simple yet delicious cake:
- 100g egg whites (approximately 3 eggs)
- 4 tbsp erythritol (or your preferred sweetener)
- 150g low-fat cream cheese
- 50g 0% yoghurt (Greek yoghurt works well)
- 30g cornstarch
- 20g dark cocoa powder
- 50ml milk (any milk of your choice, but I recommend unsweetened almond milk for a lighter option)
Instructions:
- Whisk the egg whites: Start by whisking the egg whites and erythritol together using a hand mixer. Whisk until soft peaks form. The key here is to get the mixture nice and airy, so take your time with this step. It’s the secret to achieving that fluffy, cloud-like texture!
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, yoghurt, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir until everything is smooth and well combined. This creamy mixture will give the cake its rich flavour, while the cocoa powder provides that lovely chocolatey depth.
- Fold the mixtures: Slowly fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Be gentle, as you want to preserve the airiness of the egg whites to keep the cake light and fluffy. The more air you can retain, the fluffier your cake will be!
- Prepare the baking tray: Fill a baking tray with a bit of water (this will create a steam effect while baking, helping the cake to stay moist). Place your baking tin with the cheesecake mixture on top of the water tray.
- Bake the cake: Bake at 170°C (fan oven) for about 25 minutes, or until the cake has set and is golden on top. You should see it rise slightly, and it will have a lovely soft, spongy texture when done.
- Let it cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. The cake will continue to firm up as it cools, so don’t worry if it looks a little soft at first.
- Top and serve: For an extra touch of indulgence, top your Chocolate Cloud Cake with some shaved dark chocolate. This will give it a beautiful glossy finish and add a bit of extra richness. Then slice, serve, and enjoy!
