Ingredients
1 cup (240g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (for thickening)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the bottom of your cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides for easy release. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and cornstarch until fully combined and smooth. If using any optional sweeteners or flavorings, add them in now. You want a silky, lump-free batter, so take a moment to stir slowly and evenly. If you’d like, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the pan to ensure the creamiest possible texture.
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and gently tap it on the counter to release any air bubbles. Place the pan on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes. The cake should look set with a slight jiggle in the middle when you gently shake the pan. It may puff slightly as it bakes but will settle as it cools.
Turn off the oven and let the cake rest with the door ajar for 10–15 minutes. Then remove it and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. For best texture, chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve it cold for a truly refreshing and creamy experience.
Notes
Don’t use yogurt with too much liquid. If your yogurt is watery, strain it first to remove excess moisture.
This helps maintain a thick batter and creamy texture.
Skipping the parchment paper can also make the cake stick, so always line your pan.
Avoid overbaking—it’s better to pull the cake out a few minutes early and let it set in the oven with the door cracked open than to bake it too long and end up with a dry texture.
Lastly, remember that this is a delicate cake.
Let it cool fully before slicing or handling to prevent breakage.
Patience pays off here.
