Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups thick Greek yogurt (Full-fat or low-fat, your choice!)
- 3 1/2 tablespoons honey (Or maple syrup, if you prefer!)
- 2 tablespoons cornflour (This is the secret to the perfect texture!)
- 2 eggs (Large)
Instructions
- Get Ready to Mix: In a medium-sized bowl, start mixing the Greek yogurt, honey, cornflour, and those two eggs with a whisk. Whisk until everything’s smooth and combined. Don’t worry too much about getting it perfect.
- Prep the Pan: Line a 6-inch round baking tin with a piece of baking paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking and keeps the cake whole. Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Give it a little tap on the counter to level things out.
- Cover Up: Cover the tin with foil. This step helps the cake cook evenly and keeps the top from browning too quickly.
- Bake Time! Pop your cake into a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C). Bake for 50 minutes. After the first 20 minutes , take off the foil, and let the cake bake for the remaining time.
- Cool Down is Key: Once baked, turn the oven off then set the oven down to let it cool down with the door ajar for 20 minutes. Transfer the cake (with the baking paper still attached, this is super important!) onto a plate.
- Chill Out: Pop that beautiful cake into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Chilling firms it up beautifully so that you can cut perfect slices effortlessly.
- Serving Time: Before you dive in, take off baking paper. Slice and serve! Decorate with some beautifully marinated strawberries, a drizzle of honey, or your favorite fruits – it is a party for your taste buds!
Notes
- Greek Yogurt Matters: For the best texture, use a thick Greek yogurt. It makes the cake super creamy.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the time. Overbaking can lead to a dry cake. This is very important!
- Cooling is Crucial: Don’t skip chilling the cake! It firms up the texture and improves the sliceability.
- Get Creative with Toppings: This cake is delicious on its own, but feel free to get creative with toppings! Fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, a touch of whipped cream – the possibilities are endless.
