Pin A light fluffy and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors is perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
I first made this cloud bread for a weekend brunch when my kids wanted something colorful and whimsical. Watching the bread puff up in the oven and reveal brilliant swirls always brings smiles to our 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 & Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip 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.
- Yolk Mixture:
- In a separate bowl whisk together the 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.
- Divide & Color:
- Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.
- Create Rainbow:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet side by side to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look.
- Bake & Serve:
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is set and lightly golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
