Yes! This creamy yogurt cake is one of the easiest desserts ever — light, slightly tangy, and made with just 3 simple ingredients. No butter, no oil, no fuss!
Creamy 3-Ingredient Yogurt Cake
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 cup (240 g) plain or Greek yogurt (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (65 g) cornstarch (or ½ cup all-purpose flour as an alternative)
(Optional but recommended: ¼ cup sugar or honey if you prefer it sweeter, 1 tsp vanilla, or zest of 1 lemon for extra flavor.)
Instructions
1. Prep
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
2. Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.
- Add yogurt and whisk until fully combined.
- Sift in cornstarch (or flour) and gently fold until smooth and lump-free.
3. Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool completely — it will deflate slightly as it cools (normal for this cake).
4. Serve
- Slice and enjoy plain, or dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve with fresh berries, honey drizzle, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips & Variations
- For a cheesecake-like texture, use thick Greek yogurt.
- For extra fluffiness, separate the eggs: beat egg whites until stiff peaks, then fold in.
- Add lemon zest or vanilla for a bakery-style flavor boost.
