Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1⅔ cups (400g) vanilla Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons (32g) cornstarch
Optional
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar (for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 6-inch round cake pan or a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt and eggs until completely smooth.
- Add the cornstarch and the optional granulated sugar. Whisk until no lumps remain and the batter is silky smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap it on the counter to release any large air bubbles.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is fully set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing for the best texture and clean slices.
- Serve chilled or slightly cool, plain or garnished with powdered sugar and fresh berries.
Notes
- Vanilla Greek yogurt provides enough sweetness for most people, making the added sugar optional.
- For a less sweet version, use plain Greek yogurt and adjust the sugar to taste.
- Chill the cake before slicing to achieve the best cheesecake-like texture.
- Avoid overbaking, as it can make the cake less moist and fluffy.
- Serve with fresh berries, whipped cream, lemon zest, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- This cake is not recommended for freezing, as the texture may change after thawing.
