400 g sweetened plain yogurt or flavored yogurt (1 cup + 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons)
4 eggs
40 g sifted cornstarch (¼ cup + 1 tbsp)
Directions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F).
Prepare the Cake Mold: 2. Moisten a cake mold of 18-20 cm in diameter. 3. Crumple a sheet of greaseproof paper and place it in the mold, ensuring it sticks to the sides and bottom.
Mix the Ingredients: 4. In a large mixing bowl, combine 400 g of sweetened yogurt (or flavored yogurt) with 4 eggs. 5. Add 40 g of sifted cornstarch and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the Batter: 6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake mold, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
Bake the Cake: 7. Place the cake mold in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 50 minutes, depending on your oven. 8. The cake is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Chill the Cake: 9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. 10. Once cooled, place the cake in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours before serving to allow it to set and develop its flavors.
