Save A light, fluffy, and visually stunning cloud bread featuring vibrant rainbow colors—perfect for a fun breakfast or party treat.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the pot I use for cozy one-pot meals and small-batch recipes, so I wanted to quickly share it here.
This is the Martha Stewart heart-shaped enameled cast iron Dutch oven (2-quart). It’s one of those pieces I reach for constantly when testing soups, stews, baked casseroles, and smaller comfort-food recipes.
- Heats evenly with no hot spots (huge for slow cooking)
- Non-reactive enamel interior — no seasoning required
- Perfect size for small households or side dishes
- Sturdy handles, easy to move from oven to table
It’s also a favorite with home cooks — 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 1,900 reviews — and Amazon often has a coupon available, depending on color and size.

Instructions
- Prep Oven:
- 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.
- Fold Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Color the Batter:
- 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 & Bake:
- 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.
- Finish & 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.
Save Making this with my niece turned a rainy afternoon into a vivid celebration. She loved choosing each color and we laughed at our swirling designs before enjoying the pillowy slices fresh from the oven.
