How to Make Yogurt cake in 5 minutes

Make a flourless yogurt cake that’s light and delicious, with a hint of lemon. Simple and irresistible, it’s perfect for any occasion. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Recipe Ingredients:

4 egg whites
4 egg yolks
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 Greek yogurts (4.4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons sugar (additional)
4 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, can substitute with all-purpose flour)
1 large apple, grated
Zest of one lemon
Juice of half a lemon

Instructions:

Preparing the Yolks:
First, in a bowl, beat the egg yolks with 4 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes creamy and pale. Then, add the vanilla extract and lemon zest, mixing well.

Perfect Meringue:
Next, in a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. After that, add the juice of half a lemon and 2 additional tablespoons of sugar, continuing to beat until firm peaks form.

Mixing the Ingredients:
Afterward, if using cornstarch, mix it into the yolks until fully dissolved. Then, gently fold the meringue and yogurt into the yolk mixture using a spatula to maintain the airiness.

Adding the Apple:
Next, grate the apple and gently fold it into the batter.

Preparing for Baking:
Preheat the oven to 356 °F (180 °C). Grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) glass baking dish and line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the dish lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Baking Time:
Then, bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Finishing and Serving:
Finally, let the cake cool before removing it from the dish. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon zest for a beautiful presentation.
