-
Prep time: 5 minutes
-
Cook time: 55–60 minutes
-
Yields: 1 6-inch cake
Ingredients:
-
1 ½ cups (approx. 400g) Greek yogurt (use sweetened vanilla for best flavor, or plain for low-carb)
-
4 large eggs
-
4–5 tablespoons cornstarch (or tapioca starch/arrowroot powder)
-
Optional: ¼ cup sugar (if using unsweetened yogurt) or a splash of vanilla extract
Directions:
-
Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
-
Mix: Whisk the yogurt and eggs together in a large bowl until completely smooth. Sift in the cornstarch and whisk again until no lumps remain.

Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 55–60 minutes until the top is puffed and caramelized.

Chill: The cake will deflate as it cools; this is normal. Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
