Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- Add the stevia sweetener (or sugar) to the egg yolks and beat adequately with an electric whisk until you obtain a light, frothy mixture that has doubled in volume.
Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients and Yogurt
- Add the baking powder and corn starch to the yolk mixture, then mix with a hand whisk to incorporate the powders.
- Add the Greek yogurt and mix until the batter is smooth.
Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites
- Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat them until stiff with an electric whisk.
- Incorporate the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in two steps, stirring delicately with a spatula starting from the bottom up. This helps to keep the batter airy.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Mold
- Line a round baking mold with high edges (18 centimeters in diameter) with parchment paper.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared mold.
- Mix the batter gently with a toothpick and tap the mold lightly on the table to remove any air bubbles.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Bake the cake for 30 minutes at 160°C.
- Lower the temperature to 140°C (284°F) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- When the cake is ready, let it cool in the oven turned off to prevent it from deflating.
Step 6: Final Touches
- Remove the cake from the mold once it is completely cool.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter when incorporating the egg whites to maintain the light texture.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the cake.
- Serve with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
