Creamy yogurt cake with just 3 simple ingredients

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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.
  2. Add yogurt and whisk until fully combined.
  3. 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.
