Apple Cloud Cake

Apple cloud cake is a lightly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom, tender and less-guilty dessert that's zero added fat, relatively low in sugar, but big on taste. It’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time when sweet craving hits. Its soft texture and the taste of fresh apples make it irresistible. I have used a 23cm square baking tray, but you certainly can use a round springform pan.

Apple Cloud Cake

adapted from Cook


750 g Apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I used Braeburn) Zest and juice of 1 organic lemon ½ tsp Ground cinnamon ½ tsp Ground cardamom 2 Large eggs 2 Egg whites 100 g Golden caster sugar 125 g Plain flour 1 tbsp Baking powder A pinch Fine sea salt 100 ml Whole milk Icing sugar, to dust

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm square or round pan.
Toss the apples with the lemon juice, cinnamon and cardamom, and set aside.
Put the lemon zest, whole eggs and sugar (keeping back ½ tablespoon of sugar for the top) in a large bowl and whisk together until creamy and thick enough to leave a trail when the whisk is lifted out. Sift in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and fold through, followed by the milk.
In a separate bowl, with clean whisks, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, then fold through the batter until smooth. Gently mix in about two-thirds of the sliced apples, then pour into the prepared cake tin. Scatter the rest of the apples on top and sprinkle with the reserved sugar.
Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean from the centre. Leave in the tin for 10-15 minutes before carefully unmoulding and transferring to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or cooled, dusted with icing sugar.

Ben | Havocinthekitchen 6/9/26 02:26: What a lovely cake, Angie! It looks so light and delicate – “cloud cake” seems like the perfect name for it.

My name is Erika. 6/9/26 15:50: This sounds and looks fantastic. I'm hoping to go apple picking soon and I'll have to try this. Thanks for the mystery series recommendation too Angie.
David Scott Allen 8/9/26 18:26: It is apple season here and I cannot wait to try this. It is nice that it is low sugar -- but you had me wondering about zero fat added... I was pondering how you did this without milk for the custard! Then I understood. "Added fat" was the important phrase.
Guillaume 9/9/26 13:53: Looks delicious. I think apple is the fruit of autumn. I might try this one.
Céline 15/9/26 11:27: I know this cake and it's verry delicious. In Frence it's called : invisible with apples.
