Pin it A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors, perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
I made this rainbow cloud bread for my niece's birthday breakfast and everyone loved how soft and cheerful it looked. The colors made it the highlight of the party table.
Ingredients
- Egg Mixture: 3 large eggs separated, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional for stability), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Color Additions: Red, yellow, blue, and green gel food coloring (or desired colors)
Instructions
- Prep Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat Egg Whites:
- In a large clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks develop.
- Mix Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Add Colors:
- Divide the batter evenly into bowls for each color. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each and gently fold to combine.
- Shape & Swirl:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, side by side for a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula for a marbled look if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Serve:
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
