Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (315g)
- 4 large eggs
- 5 tbsp cornstarch (55g)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Yogurt and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the cornstarch, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using) into the yogurt and egg mixture. Stir well until the batter is lump-free and evenly mixed.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly for uniform baking.
- Bake the Cake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the cake is set and has turned a light golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing. Serve plain or with toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of cocoa powder for added flavor.
Notes
- Try using flavored yogurts for a naturally sweeter cake without adding extra sugar.
- Top the cake with fresh fruit, syrups, or dust with cocoa powder to create variety and enhance presentation.
- Store leftover cake in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze it for longer storage.
