Ingredients
Scale
- 4 egg yolks
- 400g of natural yoghurt
- 40g of sugar
- 50g of corn starch
- 2g of baking powder
- 4 egg whites
- A pinch of salt
- 40g of sugar (for the egg whites)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a round cake pan with parchment paper, making sure it covers the bottom and sides.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, natural yogurt, sugar, corn starch, and baking powder until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Use a gentle folding motion to avoid deflating the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake is set and lightly golden on top.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and serve.
Notes
- If you prefer a richer texture, you can substitute the natural yogurt with sour cream or mascarpone cheese for a creamier result.
- You can top the cake with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar to enhance the flavor.
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to two days in an airtight container.
