Flourless Yogurt Cake

A moist and tender flourless yogurt cake that combines creamy yogurt and eggs for a naturally gluten-free dessert with a delicate crumb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt (full fat)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten free)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, sift together baking powder and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool completely in the pan, then remove the springform sides.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey when serving.
