3-Ingredient Yogurt Cake

Ingredients

• • Plain Greek Yogurt: 1 cup (250g)

 

• All-Purpose Flour: 1/2 cup (60g)
• Eggs: 3 large

Directions

1. 1. Preheat the Oven
      • • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-inch (15 cm) round cake pan. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

       

   2. Prepare the Batter
      • • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
        • Gradually add the flour, stirring gently until the batter is lump-free and well combined.

       

   3. Bake the Cake
      • • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
        • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.

       
   4. Cool and Serve
      • Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with your favorite toppings!
