This fluffy 3-Ingredient Yogurt Cake is an easy dessert perfect for any occasion. It is a simple cake recipe that involves baking with yogurt and requires no mixer, making it a no mixer cake everyone will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups (375 g) vanilla yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 5 tbsp (44 g) cornstarch
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 6-inch round springform pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining it completely with a single sheet of parchment paper, making sure it covers the sides and bottom well.
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt and eggs one by one, whisking until you achieve a smooth mixture.
- Sift the cornstarch into the batter and whisk it in carefully to avoid lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about one hour until the cake puffs up and develops a caramelized top.
- Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before chilling it in the fridge for at least two hours to enhance flavors.
- Let the cake rest outside the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving to soften the texture.
Notes
- I share a lot of tips and information of what to expect from this cake in the post
- Please review before making the cake
- This is a low sugar cake and the only sweetness comes from the yogurt
- If you desire a sweeter cake, you can add about 1/4 cup of granular sugar
- This cake can be made with low fat, whole milk or greek yogurt
- You can use other flavors other than vanilla
- If using greek yogurt, you may want to add a few tbsp of sugar since greek yogurt usually is tangier than regular yogurt
- You do want to select a yogurt with a normal or high amount of sugar because it is the only source of sweetness for this cake
- A low sugar yogurt will not work as well because your cake won’t be sweet enough
- I used Yoplait original vanilla low fat yogurt
- This cake can be made in a larger or smaller round cake pan but if you use a larger pan, your cake will be thinner
- Baking time will also be different if you use a larger or smaller baking pan
- Use a single sheet of parchment paper if using a springform pan, otherwise, the batter will leak through
