Flourless Cloud Cake: A Traditional Recipe from My Great-Grandmother

1. Can I use another type of cheese instead of mascarpone?  Yes, you can use ricotta or cream cheese, but make sure it’s well drained to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.  2. What should I do if the cake collapses after baking?  This is a natural process, especially with flourless cakes.  If it collapses, it will still be delicious and fluffy on the inside.  3. Can I freeze this cake?  The cake tastes best fresh, but it can be frozen for a short time.  Be sure to wrap it well to prevent it from absorbing freezer odors.  4. What toppings pair best with this cake?  Fresh fruit, especially blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries, pairs perfectly with this cake.  You can also serve it with whipped cream or fruit puree.  This cloud cake recipe is a true treasure trove of flavors, deliciously simple, and with a unique texture!
