Description

A light, fluffy Coconut Cloud Cake made with whipped egg whites, soft cake flour, and topped with cloud-like meringue frosting and shredded coconut. Perfect for springtime or tropical-themed celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 14 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups cake flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp coconut extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Frosting (Seven-Minute Frosting or Swiss Meringue:)
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp cream of tartar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp coconut extract
  • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Do not grease the pan.
  2. In a stand mixer, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add ¾ cup sugar; continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix cake flour, remaining sugar, salt, and extracts.
  5. Gently fold dry ingredients into the meringue.
  6. Pour batter into tube pan and bake 35–40 minutes until golden.
  7. Invert pan to cool completely before removing the cake.
  8. Prepare the frosting by heating sugar and egg whites over a double boiler, then whipping until stiff and glossy.
  9. Frost the cake and press shredded coconut onto the surface.
  10. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

  • Do not skip inverting the cake while cooling—it prevents collapse.

  • Use room temperature eggs for best meringue volume.

  • Optional: Add lemon curd or pineapple filling between layers.
