Cloud Cake (Super Fluffy Cheesecake)

That “must comment to get the recipe” line is just social media bait—you’ve already got everything you need 👍
Here’s your Cloud Cake (Japanese-style fluffy cheesecake) done properly so it turns out light, airy, and not collapsed:

☁️ Cloud Cake (Super Fluffy Cheesecake)

Ingredients:

  • 200g cream cheese (softened)
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 100ml milk
  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 70g sugar
  • 40g cake flour
  • 10g cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep

  • Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F)
  • Line a cake pan with parchment
  • Prepare a water bath (a larger pan with hot water)

2. Melt & mix

  • In a bowl, gently heat cream cheese, butter, and milk (microwave or double boiler)
  • Whisk until smooth and creamy

3. Add yolks

  • Add egg yolks + vanilla
  • Mix well

4. Add dry ingredients

  • Sift in flour + cornstarch
  • Mix until smooth (no lumps)

5. Make meringue

  • Beat egg whites until foamy
  • Gradually add sugar
  • Beat to soft peaks (not stiff!)

6. Fold gently

  • Fold meringue into batter in 2–3 additions
  • Be gentle to keep it airy

7. Bake (important!)

  • Pour into pan
  • Place pan in water bath
  • Bake:
    • 150°C for 60 minutes
    • Then turn off oven, leave inside 30 minutes (door slightly open)

8. Cool slowly

  • Remove and let cool completely before slicing

🔥 Tips (this is what most people mess up):

  • Don’t overbeat egg whites → cake will crack/collapse
  • Always use a water bath → gives that cloud texture
  • Cool slowly → prevents shrinking

✨ Result:

A soft, jiggly, melt-in-your-mouth cake—like a cross between cheesecake and soufflé.

If you want, I can give you a  chocolate version or a  3-ingredient shortcut version 👀
