Save A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors—perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
I remember making this for a weekend brunch, and it quickly became a favorite because everyone loved seeing the rainbow colors as much as tasting the soft, fluffy bread.
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
- Prepare Baking Sheet:
- 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.
- Mix Yolks:
- 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.
- Add Colors:
- Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.
- Shape Bread:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, side by side, to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula for a marbled look if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bread is set and lightly golden.
- Serve:
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
Save Making this together brought lots of laughter, especially when we were deciding which colors to swirl for the best rainbow effect.
