Save A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors is perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat. The beautiful swirls are as delightful to look at as they are to eat.
I first made rainbow cloud bread for my niece's birthday breakfast, and the look of surprise on everyone's face was unforgettable. Mixing up the colors and watching them bake into swirled clouds is a joy every time I prepare it.
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
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a large, clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks develop.
- Mix Yolks:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Add Color:
- Divide batter evenly into separate bowls for each color wanted. Add a few drops of gel food coloring and gently fold to combine.
- Shape Rainbow:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto prepared baking sheet, side by side, to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until bread is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
