Save A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors. Perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
I made this rainbow cloud bread for my niece's birthday breakfast and the kids could not stop smiling at their colorful plates. It's an easy way to turn a simple recipe into something magical and memorable.
Ingredients
- Egg Mixture: 3 large eggs separated, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional for stability), 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Color Additions: Red, yellow, blue, and green gel food coloring (or desired colors)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a large clean bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar beating until stiff glossy peaks develop.
- Mix Egg Yolks:
- In a separate bowl whisk together the egg yolks cornstarch and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Add Colors:
- Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls for each color you want. Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and gently fold to combine.
- Shape Rainbow:
- Spoon colorful dollops onto the prepared baking sheet side by side to create a rainbow effect. Swirl gently with a spatula if desired for a marbled look.
- Bake and Serve:
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the bread is set and lightly golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the baking sheet. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy cloud bread fresh out of the oven for the absolute fluffiest texture. Pile high with whipped cream fresh berries or use as a sandwich base for sweet or savory fillings.
Flavor Variations
Try almond lemon or coconut extract to change up your flavor. Add a little zest or sprinkle cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.
Storage and Reheating
Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. For best taste serve immediately as cloud bread loses fluff over time.
