After a while, I'm finally offering you one of the simplest keto recipes out there: Keto Cloud Cake. The idea for it didn't really grow inside my grey cell network, though.
While I was going through my Egg Fast experiment, I looked for many recipes that would make my 5 days of eggs and fat delicious. I stumbled across Egg Fast Cloud Cake recipe and decided to change it just a little bit to suit my taste perfectly. You can as well stick to the original if you wish. But I can't help being in love with matcha green tea, especially when I can mix it in cream of some sort. If you ask me, the combination of pretty much any type of dairy and matcha is a match made in heaven.
While typing this, I realized one of my future recipes should be keto matcha cheddar cheesecake. Yes, browsing my page, you will notice more than one recipe in which I use the magic green tea powder. In case you didn't know, it's full of antioxidants, it tastes delicious, and is extremely healthy if you don't go out and order a matcha latte, filled with sugar.
So, the recipe below is useful when you Egg Fast, and delicious plus tweakable when you don't. Use more cream cheese or mascarpone for the filling if it suits you. At one point I added sugar-free caramel to the filling, and that was also quite nice. Skip the matcha powder if desired, and mix in vanilla seeds. Just make sure you enjoy it relatively slowly because the cake itself is not as big as it is good.
Keto Cloud Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 2 large eggs
- 2 oz mascarpone cheese - (full fat)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- ⅛ tsp stevia extract - (optional)
Filling
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp erythritol
- ¼ tsp matcha green tea powder
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 300° F. Line a baking pan or molds with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick spray. Separate the eggs, making sure no yolk gets into the whites. Whip the egg whites and the cream of tartar until stiff. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yolks, mascarpone cheese, salt, and stevia until smooth. Using a spatula, gradually and carefully fold the egg whites into the yolk-cheese mixture. You want to use the folding technique because you don't want to lose the fluffiness of the egg whites. Spoon 4 large mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet or molds. Gently press with a spatula on the top of each mound to flatten just slightly.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake. Take the cakes out of the oven and let them cool. For best results, leave them out for a day before assembling the cake.
Filling
- Whip all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- Using a spoon or a spatula, place ¼ of the filling on top of each cake layer, and stack them on top of each other.
- Let it sit in the fridge for a few minutes. Cut in half and enjoy with your dearest person (who might as well be yourself 😉

I just found your website, and the first thing I made was this Keto egg fast cloud cake. I don’t love matcha, so I switched in a little vanilla. It was easy to make, and just so satisfying and delicious. I will be back for more recipes! Thanks!
Can you just use cream cheese instead of mascarpone? Thx.
Sure. If you can try it with mascarpone at least once. It tastes better (personal opinion).
Thankyou for sharing this. I did try the egg fast but on the third day could not handle any more, so I wil try for new receipes in my next attempt.
Yes, it's always best to not push it too far when we're not feeling good ... Good luck the next time!
Looks good Tisa. Thank you. I went to your "About me" to learn more about you. A researcher? Cool! We are nature enthusiasts too! My husband and daughter drove to Cape May, NJ, USA TWICE this past week to try to spot a snowy owl! A two and half hour drive each way!! We are bird watchers There is a hospital in USA that specializes in Keto for kids with epilepsy. Dr. John Bergman on YOUTUBE recommends the keto diet for cancer since oncologists know that cancer uses sugar for food(ex. P.E.T. scans use a glucose drink to identify cancer because cancer will have an increase of glucose vs. healthy cells) Another doc has done research in her own clinic and has data that shows that cancer patients on a low carb diet live longer! A lot longer...I've lost 27 lbs. on keto!
Hey there, Marie! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, knowledge, and experience with us! I love digging into fresh research on how keto and low-carb diet impacts health and disease, and hope that someday I, too, can contribute with interesting findings in neuroscience.
Congrats on your weight loss as well as for being such a nature enthusiast! Thumbs up, keep the kid(s) curious and active! And, of course, happy new year!
