Description
A soft, fluffy, and moist yogurt cake with a tangy-sweet flavor that melts in your mouth. Made with only six basic ingredients, this cake is perfect for any occasion and can be whipped up effortlessly in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 400 g natural yogurt
- 4 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 50 g corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
-
Mix Yogurt and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the natural yogurt and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture becomes smooth.
-
Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to create a creamy consistency.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the corn starch and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Gently fold them in until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Dust: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple, elegant finish.
Notes
- Ensure your eggs and yogurt are at room temperature for better mixing and fluffiness.
- You can replace corn starch with all-purpose flour, but the cake may lose some of its lightness.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
