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.
