Yogurt Cake Recipe

This simple and delicious yogurt cake is a perfect treat for those looking for a light and gluten-free dessert. It’s made with just a few ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture. Here’s how to prepare it!

Ingredients:

  • 400 g sweetened yogurt (~1 2/3 cup)
    (If using plain yogurt, add 3 tablespoons maple syrup, agave syrup, or your preferred sweetener)
  • 4 eggs
  • 40 g cornstarch (~4 tablespoons)
  • 16 cm (6.2 inch) round baking pan
  • Parchment paper

Directions:

Prepare the Oven and Pan:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Drizzle a small amount of water into the 16 cm round baking pan, then line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mix the Ingredients:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened yogurt (or plain with added syrup), eggs, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth and lump-free.

Bake the Cake:

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate it for 2 hours to set the texture.

Serve:

  1. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions:

  • Top with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of honey.
  • Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness.

Cooking Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the batter.
  • Make sure to mix the batter well until fully combined and free from lumps to ensure a smooth texture.
