    What is yogurt cake?

    The history of Yogurt Cake traces back to its origins in France. Known as “gâteau au yaourt,” this delightful baked treat is considered a classic in French cuisine. In many ways, it can be compared to the beloved pound cake, as it shares a similar simplicity and flavor profile, accentuated by a hint of vanilla. I adore the simplicity of yogurt cake. It delights in its plainness, being tender and fluffy with just a subtle sweetness and a delightful tanginess courtesy of the yogurt.

    What do we need for making yogurt cake ?

    The yogurt cake can be made with just six simple ingredients. All you need is sweet thick greek yogurt or vanilla flavoured yogurt, eggs, low gluten flour, corn starch, and sugar. Lemon juice plays a crucial role in eliminating the taste of raw egg. The sweetness of this cake is quite mild due to its low sugar content. However, it can be easily customized to cater to individual preferences. To enhance the sweetness, you can drizzle some honey or your preferred sweetener on top of the cake. Alternatively, you can also incorporate sugar into the cake batter.

    Ingredients

    • 220g sweet greek yogurt
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
    • 75g low gluten flour
    • 15g corn starch
    • 35g sugar

       

    Directions

    step 1

    Combine 3 egg yolks, 220g of sweet Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt for the flavour) in the mixing bowl. Thoroughly mix the ingredients together.

    step 2

    Sift in 75g low gluten flour, and 15g of corn starch into the mixture and thoroughly incorporate it until a consistently smooth batter is achieved.

    step 3

    Combine 3 egg whites, 30g of sugar, and a tablespoon of lemon juice in a fresh bowl. Use a whisk to whip the mixture until it reaches the desired consistency. Stop whisking once it appears ready.

    step 4

    Combine the ingredients in both bowls and thoroughly blend them together.

    step 5

    To bake the cake, pour the ingredients into the baking mold and utilize the water bath technique. Bake at a temperature of 145 °C degrees for a duration of 55 minutes.

    step 6

    This cake can be served warm or cold depends on your preference.

    Pro Tips

    • Take note of the level of sweetness in this yogurt cake. It is a cake with low sugar content, deriving its sweetness solely from the yogurt. If you prefer a sweeter cake, consider incorporating approximately 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
    • You have the flexibility to make this cake in either a larger or smaller round cake pan. However, it’s important to note that if you choose a larger pan, your cake will turn out thinner. Additionally, the baking time will vary depending on the size of the pan you use.

    Serving Suggestions

    Allow the cake to cool on a cooling rack for approximately 20 minutes. Afterward, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely. 

    Variations and Additions

    Once the cake has cooled completely, mix together the lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Carefully drizzle this glaze over the cake, as it will be thin and will absorb into the cake like a syrup.
