Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Add the stevia sweetener (or sugar) to the egg yolks and beat adequately with an electric whisk until you obtain a light, frothy mixture that has doubled in volume.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients and Yogurt
Add the baking powder and corn starch to the yolk mixture, then mix with a hand whisk to incorporate the powders.
Add the Greek yogurt and mix until the batter is smooth.
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat them until stiff with an electric whisk.
Incorporate the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in two steps, stirring delicately with a spatula starting from the bottom up. This helps to keep the batter airy.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Mold
Line a round baking mold with high edges (18 centimeters in diameter) with parchment paper.
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold.
Mix the batter gently with a toothpick and tap the mold lightly on the table to remove any air bubbles.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
Bake the cake for 30 minutes at 160°C.
Lower the temperature to 140°C (284°F) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
When the cake is ready, let it cool in the oven turned off to prevent it from deflating.
Step 6: Final Touches
Remove the cake from the mold once it is completely cool.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
