    Ingredients

      • 4 eggs (medium-large, room temperature)
      • 110 g (1/2 cup) sugar

     

      • 1 tsp vanilla extract
      • Zest from 1/2 lemon (or substitute with orange zest or 1 extra tsp vanilla)
      • 325 g (1 1/3 cups) unsweetened Greek yogurt (0% fat or full fat)

     

    • 55 g (1/2 cup) cornstarch
    • 1/4 tsp baking powder

    Directions

    Prepare the Egg Whites:

     

    • Separate the egg yolks and whites into two large bowls.
    • Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

    Prepare the Egg Yolks:

     

    • Add sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the egg yolks.
    • Beat the mixture until thick and pale.

    Add Yogurt and Dry Ingredients:

     

    • Mix in the Greek yogurt at low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
    • Add cornstarch and baking powder. Mix at low speed until combined.

    Combine the Mixtures:

     

    • Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in a few steps. Fold carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites.

    Prepare the Pan:

      • Line an 18 cm (7-inch) springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are high to accommodate rising.

     

    • Grease the pan lightly with butter to help the parchment paper stick.

    Bake the Cake:

      • Tap the pan gently to break large air bubbles.

     

      • Place the pan in a larger aluminum pan and pour hot water into the larger pan for a water bath.
      • Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 60 minutes (no fan, upper and lower heat).
      • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

    Cool and Serve:

      • Let the cake cool in the pan for 30–40 minutes before unmolding.
      • Gently remove the parchment paper, taking care not to damage the delicate cake.
