Recipe FAQs

→ Why does my cake fall in the center?
It could be from rough mixing or peeking at it mid-bake. Be gentle folding the whites to avoid popping those air pockets, and keep that oven door shut for the first half-hour.
→ Can I swap plain yogurt for a flavored one?
Of course! Vanilla, strawberry, or lemon yogurt could all give it a fun flavor pop. Just remember, sweetened ones will make the cake a little sweeter.
→ When’s the cake fully done?
You’re good to go when the top’s golden and it springs back when you press the middle lightly. Or stick a toothpick in—if it comes out clean or with tiny crumbs, it’s ready!
→ Can I skip the electric mixer?
Totally, but whipping egg whites by hand means a bit of an arm workout. Use a clean, dry bowl so the whites fluff up nicely.
→ Should I stick this cake in the fridge?
Yep! Because it’s got yogurt, pop it in the fridge to keep fresh. It tastes amazing cold and stays good for about three days.
→ What if I use a different pan size?
Go for it! Just tweak the bake time. Bigger pans will mean thinner cakes and less time—try 25 mins for 8 inches. Smaller pans? You might need closer to 40 mins.

Ingredients

→ Main Ingredients

01 4 large eggs
02 ¼ cup cornstarch (or use regular flour if gluten isn't an issue)
03 1 cup vanilla or plain yogurt (Greek yogurt is ideal)

Steps

Step 01

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 6-inch round pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 02

Crack the eggs and split the whites and yolks into two separate bowls.

Step 03

Mix the egg yolks and yogurt together until the texture is silky and smooth.

Step 04

Carefully sift in the flour and stir until the mixture is free of any lumps.

Step 05

Using a whisk or mixer, beat the egg whites until they form firm, fluffy peaks.

Step 06

Add the beaten egg whites to the yogurt mixture a bit at a time. Gently fold them in so the batter stays airy.

Step 07

Transfer the batter to your prepared pan. Spread it evenly on top, then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until it's golden brown and set in the middle.

Step 08

Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Feel free to sprinkle powdered sugar on top or add fresh fruit for serving.

Notes

  1. Want more flavor? Try adding a pinch of lemon zest or a dash of vanilla.
  2. Best toppings? Fresh berries, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of honey work great.
  3. Fridge life: Store it chilled for up to 3 days. Tastes even better cold.
  4. No flour at hand? Use cornstarch as a gluten-free alternative.
