Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 1.5 cups plain or vanilla yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the batter.
- Mix Yogurt and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
- Add Flavor and Dry Ingredient: Stir in the vanilla extract if using, followed by the cornstarch. Whisk again until the batter is completely smooth without any lumps.
- Prepare Pan and Pour Batter: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely. Top with fresh berries, maple syrup, or honey as desired before serving. Enjoy your moist and flavorful yogurt cake!
Notes
- You can use flavored yogurts like vanilla or coconut for a sweeter cake without adding sugar.
- If using plain yogurt and desiring more sweetness, add 1/4 cup sugar to the batter.
- Make sure the cornstarch is well incorporated to avoid lumps in the batter.
- This cake is best served cooled and pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or natural sweeteners.
- Use a toothpick test to ensure the cake is baked through before removing from the oven.
