How to Make 2-Ingredient Cloud Cake

Step 1 โ€“ Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 320ยฐF (160ยฐC). Line or grease your baking dish.

Step 2 โ€“ Separate Eggs

Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.

Step 3 โ€“ Blend Cottage Cheese

Blend cottage cheese until completely smoothโ€”this is key!

Step 4 โ€“ Mix Yolks

Add egg yolks to cottage cheese and mix well.

Step 5 โ€“ Whip Egg Whites

Whip egg whites until stiff peaks formโ€”this creates the โ€œcloudโ€ texture.

Step 6 โ€“ Fold Gently

Step 7 โ€“ Bake

Pour into dish and bake for 25โ€“30 minutes until set and lightly golden.
