Cool: 1 hour
Total: 1 hour 50 minutes
Servings: 68 slices
Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
4 egg whites
3 tablespoons sugar
400 grams (10%) Greek yogurt
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
40 grams chocolate chips (optional, for added richness)
Instructions:
STEP 1: GET READY
Set your oven to 170°C (340°F). Lightly oil an 8inch cake pan and line it with baking paper.
Separate the yolks from the whites into two separate bowls.
STEP 2: MAKE THE BATTER
In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture looks smooth and has lightened in color.
Mix in the Greek yogurt thoroughly until well blended.
Sift the cornstarch and baking powder into the bowl, then mix gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
STEP 3: WHIP THE EGG WHITES
With an electric mixer, whip the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks appear.
Gradually add a little sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
This step is important for a light and fluffy cake.
STEP 4: MIX EVERYTHING TOGETHER
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt batter in three parts.
Use a spatula and fold gently to maintain airiness.
If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them in now.
STEP 5: BAKE THE CAKE
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.
Put the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
STEP 6: COOL AND SERVE
Take the cake out of the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully move the cake to a wire rack and let it cool for an hour before slicing.
Finish by sprinkling powdered sugar over it, drizzling with honey, or serving with fresh berries for an upscale presentation.
