Method

Cake Preparation

Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture. Add vanilla extract and melted butter, folding gently until just combined.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the pan.

Caramel Sauce Preparation

Make the Caramel Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a golden color. Carefully add heavy cream and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in butter and a pinch of salt. Let cool slightly.

Grapefruit Preparation

Prepare the Grapefruit Supreme

Segment the grapefruits by cutting between the membranes to release the segments. Set aside.

Assembly

Assemble the Cloud Cake

Place the cooled cake on a serving platter. Drizzle with caramel sauce, top with grapefruit supremes, and garnish with fresh tarragon.
