To make this healthier Apple Cloud Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly spray with cooking spray and line the base and sides of a round 9-inch springform baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
In another large bowl, add the lemon zest, 2 whole eggs, and 100 grams golden caster sugar (reserving ½ tablespoon sugar for sprinkling the top of the cake) and whip until creamy and thick enough for the beaters to leave light traces on the surface.
Sift in 125 grams flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt and fold to combine.
Stir in 100 milliliters low-fat milk until combined.
In a clean, dry bowl, with clean whisks, whip 2 egg whites until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped egg whites into the flour mixture until smooth.
Gently fold in about ⅔ of the sliced apples.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
Scatter the remaining apples on top. Sprinkle the reserved ½ tablespoon sugar over the apples.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before unmolding it from the pan and transferring it to a wire cooling rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar.
