Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (315g)
- 4 large eggs
- 5 tbsp cornstarch (55g)
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the 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 large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the cornstarch, vanilla extract, and sugar if using, making sure the batter is lump-free and evenly mixed.
- Pour Batter: Pour the smooth batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out to fit.
- Bake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the cake is set, firm to the touch, and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan, then slice and serve. Optionally add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- You can use either plain or vanilla yogurt depending on your flavor preference.
- The sugar is optional; omit it for a less sweet, more tart cake.
- Ensure the cornstarch is well incorporated to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check doneness with a toothpick.
- This cake keeps well covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
