Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol, stevia blend, or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round or square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, eggs, sweetener, cornstarch (or flour), and vanilla extract until the batter is completely smooth and well combined, without lumps.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out gently with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
  4. Bake Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is set in the center and lightly golden on top. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. This helps the cake to firm up and improves texture when served.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend instead of regular flour.
  • You can substitute the sweetener with any preferred sugar-free alternative, but adjust quantity based on sweetness.
  • Ensure the yogurt is plain and unsweetened for best results.
  • Serve the cake chilled or at room temperature, optionally with fresh fruit or a sugar-free syrup.
  • Storage: Keep the cake refrigerated and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
