Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat plain yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal of the cake.
- Mix Yogurt and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat plain yogurt and the eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Incorporate Sweetener: Add the honey or maple syrup to the yogurt and egg mixture. Stir well until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased cake pan, smoothing the surface evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Bake the Cake: Place the cake pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the top turns golden brown and the center is set, indicating the cake is cooked through.
- Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about five minutes. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Once cooled, slice and serve the yogurt cake plain or topped with fresh fruits for added flavor and freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option, although the eggs will prevent this cake from being strictly vegan.
- Full-fat yogurt is preferred to ensure a rich and creamy texture.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the cake moist inside.
- Serve with fresh berries or a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra decoration.
- This recipe works well as a base for adding other flavors like vanilla extract or citrus zest.
