Ingredients
1 cup (225 g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
3 large eggs, separated
Optional Additions
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweetener of choice, to taste
A pinch of cinnamon
Lemon zest for a fresh citrus flavor
Unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate version
Fresh berries for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Line a small round baking pan or loaf pan with parchment paper.
3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and egg yolks until smooth.
5. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the egg whites into the yogurt mixture in batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until lightly golden and set in the center.
9. Turn off the oven and allow the cake to cool gradually with the door slightly open for 10 minutes.
10. Remove, cool completely, and serve.
Tips for Success
Ensure the mixing bowl for the egg whites is completely clean and dry.
Fold gently to preserve the airy texture.
Use full stiff peaks for maximum volume.
Allow the cake to cool slowly to minimize shrinking.
Chill before serving for an even better texture.
