Description
A luscious, creamy yogurt cake made with just three wholesome ingredients, flourless and free of added fats, offering a moist, tender crumb and subtle tangy flavor.
Ingredients
2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or strained for best texture)
1 cup sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar or maple syrup)
3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly fluffy.
- Add the Greek yogurt and gently fold it into the egg-sugar mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with fresh berries for an extra touch.
Notes
Substitute sugar with coconut sugar or maple syrup for a different flavor.
Add vanilla extract or cinnamon for a flavor twist.
Fold in fresh berries or lemon zest before baking for variation.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
Freeze wrapped tightly for up to a month; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Reheat slices gently in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or enjoy chilled.
Use plain Greek yogurt for best texture; regular yogurt may yield a less dense cake.
