Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 1.5 cups yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 4 eggs
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- Fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries) for topping
- Maple syrup or honey for drizzling
- Optional: 1/4 cup sugar (if using plain yogurt and a sweeter cake is desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's properly heated when you're ready to bake the cake.
- Mix yogurt and eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups of yogurt and 4 eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Add vanilla and cornstarch: Incorporate the 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract (if using) and 5 tablespoons of cornstarch into the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth with no lumps.
- Prepare the baking pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake the cake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for extra flavor. Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use flavored yogurts like vanilla or coconut to add natural sweetness without extra sugar.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake with plain yogurt, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter.
- Enhance the cake by topping it with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
- Try adding warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the batter for a unique flavor twist.
- This recipe is highly adaptable to various taste preferences and dietary needs.
