Caramel Cloud Cake

Cloud Cake. Yes we are calling this recipe Caramel Cloud Cake. It is super white and super light like clouds. Made from just three ingredients. Yes, you read it right. Just 3 ingredients namely egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar.
This idea was adopted from a recipe on YouTube and was tweaked a little bit to make it a little less sweet. It was called Egg White Cake and thought of changing it to Caramel Cloud Cake which I think sounds better. What do you think?

​If you love Brazo de Mercedez or Brazo de Mercedez Cupcakes how the texture of the meringue when you take a bite, then this recipe is right for you. Of course, with the exception of the custard in the middle which is made from egg yolks that was turned into sweet custard. For this one, the caramel on top provides sweetness to this cake. So, this is a great way to make use of leftover egg whites if you happen to make Leche Flan. You can also make Lengua De Gato and Meringue Cookies if you have more. So, do not throw the egg whites away because yhere are plenty of ways how you can turn them into delicious desserts.
