Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them in two different bowls to avoid any yolk in the whites.
  3. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Blend egg yolks with cream cheese and salt until smooth for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture with a spatula, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Divide the batter into bowls and add gel food coloring to create desired pastel shades.
  7. Layer the colored batter into the prepared loaf pan, swirling gently with a knife or toothpick.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes until lightly golden and springy to touch.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure no yolk contacts the egg whites. Gently fold mixtures to retain air. Start with small amounts of gel food coloring. Monitor baking time carefully to avoid overbaking. Cool completely before slicing to maintain shape.
