Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (315 grams)
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch (55 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cake.
- Mix Yogurt and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
- Add Vanilla and Cornstarch: Stir in the pure vanilla extract (if using) and cornstarch. Whisk again until the batter is completely smooth without any lumps.
- Prepare Pan and Bake: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it, then pour the batter into the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan. Once cooled, serve topped with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or any toppings you prefer. Enjoy this light, tender cake!
Notes
- You can use flavored yogurt like vanilla or coconut for a naturally sweeter cake, or add 1/4 cup sugar to plain yogurt for more sweetness.
- Enhance with toppings such as chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
- Experiment by adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to change the flavor profile.
- The recipe is versatile, so adjust the ingredients or flavorings to suit your dietary needs or taste preferences.
