Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Honey for drizzling

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, and sugar; whisk until smooth.
2. Add flour, baking powder, salt, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each cake; cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip the cakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Remove from skillet and keep warm; repeat with remaining batter.
7. Serve the cloud cakes warm, drizzled with honey. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover cloud cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet before serving.

For the best texture, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whipping them; this helps incorporate more air for fluffiness. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, consider using Greek yogurt instead of ricotta.

Try adding some fresh berries or lemon zest for extra flavor. These cloud cakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, and they reheat well in the microwave or on a skillet.
