Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups 500 g plain or Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs separated
  • 1/2 cup 65 g all-purpose or self-rising flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease a small round or loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to overmix — just fold until combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
