Yogurt Cornstarch Cake Recipe

Yogurt Cornstarch Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• • 400 g sweetened yogurt (~1 2/3 cup)
    (If using plain yogurt, add 3 tablespoons maple syrup, agave syrup, or your preferred sweetener)

• • 4 eggs
  • 40 g cornstarch (~4 tablespoons)
  • 16 cm (6.2 inch) round baking pan

• Parchment paper

Directions:

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
   2. Prepare the pan by drizzling a small amount of water into the 16 cm round baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

1. 1. Mix the ingredients in a large bowl: combine yogurt (sweetened or with added syrup), eggs, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
   2. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
   3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

1. Cool the cake at room temperature before refrigerating for 2 hours to set the texture.
2. Serve chilled and enjoy!
