Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (500 g) plain or Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose or self-rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease a small round or loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Yogurt and Egg Yolks: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and yogurt until smooth. Add in the flour and stir until combined.
- Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix — just fold until combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Flavor Variations: You can add vanilla extract, lemon zest, or even a bit of cocoa powder to change up the flavor profile.
- Topping Ideas: Serve the cake with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries to elevate its flavor and presentation.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
