📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 6-inch or 7-inch round baking pan (or small loaf pan) with parchment paper, allowing it to overhang slightly on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the pan sides.
  2. 2
    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt, large eggs, and your chosen sweetener. Whisk vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, uniform, and slightly airy. Ensure no lumps remain.
  3. 3
    Pour the smooth batter into the prepared baking dish. Gently tap the dish a few times on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles from the batter.
  4. 4
    Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown, but the center still has a slight wobble.
  5. 5
    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is a critical step for proper setting.
  6. 6
    Once at room temperature, cover the pan and transfer the cake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and develop its custardy texture.
  7. 7
    Once thoroughly chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake from the pan. Slice and serve cold, ideally with fresh berries or a light dusting of powdered sweetener.

💡 Notes

For best results, use full-fat Greek yogurt. For extra creaminess, bake in a water bath: place the cake pan in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the cake pan. This cake is best enjoyed cold and stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
