Description
This simple and creamy 3 Ingredient Yogurt Cake is made with just Greek yogurt, eggs, and cornstarch. It’s easy to prepare, with a smooth texture that makes it the perfect light dessert or snack, ideal for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups (400g) nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons (32g) cornstarch
Instructions
- Spray the interior of a 6-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, then line it with a large sheet of parchment paper so that it covers the pan and comes slightly above the edges. Press and crease the paper to fit, creating a rustic, uneven look.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the yogurt and eggs together until fully combined. If adding sugar, incorporate it now. Stir in the cornstarch and whisk until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- To cook in the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and bake for about 20-23 minutes. The cake should be puffed up, with no liquid or jiggly batter, and the surface should have a caramelized appearance.
- To cook in the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and bake for 70-75 minutes, or until the cake is puffed up, no longer jiggly, and has a caramelized surface.
- When the cake comes out, it will begin to deflate slightly but shouldn’t shrink too much. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- For best results, refrigerate overnight. Before serving, remove the cake from the fridge about 15-30 minutes to bring it to room temperature. Optionally, drizzle with honey or your preferred sweetener.
Notes
- If you want extra sweetness, feel free to stir in a bit of sugar, honey, or maple syrup when mixing the batter.
- This cake can also be flavored with vanilla extract or a citrus zest for an added twist.
