Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 6-inch or 7-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

Step 2: Whip the Eggs

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes). If using sugar, add it here and whisk until dissolved.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

Add the yogurt to the whipped eggs and whisk until smooth.
Gradually sift in the flour (or cornstarch) and gently fold it into the mixture until no lumps remain.

Step 4: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently remove it and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh berries, or serve plain for a simple yet elegant dessert.

Notes

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This helps the batter mix evenly and the cake bake uniformly.
Don’t Overmix: Gently fold in the flour to maintain a light, airy texture.
Adjust the Sweetness: If your yogurt is already sweetened, you may not need extra sugar.
