Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, eggs, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. The batter will be quite loose as it contains no flour.
  3. Pour and Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Give the pan a gentle tap on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  4. Bake the Cake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top will be lightly golden and slightly firm to the touch.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar or garnish with lemon slices for extra appeal.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for best texture and richness.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can increase the sugar by 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Make sure to zest only the yellow part of the lemon to avoid bitterness.
  • The cake is naturally gluten-free and flourless, perfect for those avoiding gluten.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
