Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 grams (1 ¾ cups) Greek yogurt with sugar (about 3 small cups of yogurt)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons (40 grams) cornstarch

Instructions

  • Prepare the Batter:

    • Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
    • Add the Greek yogurt and mix until smooth.
    • Sift in the cornstarch and gently fold until fully combined.
  • Bake the Cake:

    • Line a baking pan with parchment paper and pour in the batter.
    • Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
    • Bake for 35–40 minutes until the cake is set and lightly golden on top.
  • Cool and Serve:

    • Let the cake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 10 minutes.
    • Transfer to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
    • Serve as is or with powdered sugar, honey, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • If using plain Greek yogurt, add 2–3 tablespoons of sugar or honey for extra sweetness.
  • For a more intense flavor, mix in a little vanilla extract or lemon zest.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • This cake is naturally gluten-free, but check your cornstarch to ensure it is certified gluten-free if needed.
