Save A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors—perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
I first tried making rainbow cloud bread for my daughter's birthday party and the delight in her eyes was unforgettable. The process was surprisingly straightforward and everyone loved customizing their own color combos!
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.
- Make Meringue:
- 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.
- Prepare Yolk Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Dye Batter:
- 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.
- Arrange Colors:
- 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:
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is set and lightly golden.
- Serve:
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.
