Strawberry Cloud Cake 3 Ingredient (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
15 g plain gelatin powder
02 -
313 g applesauce, no sugar added
03 -
77 g ripe strawberries, chopped into chunky 1.25 cm pieces
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Keep your finished mix in the fridge ’til you’re ready to enjoy it. If you want, top with your favorite frosting or whipped cream. Slice it up using a long, sharp knife. Leftovers go in the fridge too.
02 -
Scoop all the fluffy stuff into your lined pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Let it hang out in the fridge for at least an hour so it can firm up nicely.
03 -
After cooling down, pour the fruity mix into your stand mixer and pop on the whisk attachment. Crank it up to top speed for about 15 minutes. Stop when it blows up in size and gets fluffy like pillowy whipped cream. It should hold gentle peaks.
04 -
Sit your bowl over a pot with gently bubbling water, but don’t let the bowl touch the water. Stir often until the gelatin’s all gone and the mix turns smooth and a bit runnier. You want it warm, not hot, and never boiling. Take it off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes on the counter.
05 -
Move your strawberry applesauce blend to a big heat-safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and whisk it in until you can’t see any bits. The mix will start thickening up.
06 -
Dump applesauce and your strawberry chunks into a blender. Blitz until everything’s totally smooth and the color’s even all the way through.
07 -
Grab a big piece of parchment and line both the bottom and sides of an 8 cm or 9 cm square pan. Make sure there’s enough hanging over so you can pull it out easily when you’re done.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Stick with fresh strawberries—frozen ones get too watery and mess up the fluffiness.
02 -
Don’t use sweetened applesauce. Extra sugar stops it from getting as airy as it should.
03 -
If you can, make this the night before. It’ll set even better by the next day.
04 -
This dessert is super light and airy, kinda like eating a cloud. It’s not dense or cake-like at all, and it’s easy on the calories.
